FIN Future News

Posted by Alexey on December 2, 2009 in Uncategorized with 6 Comments


At FIN’s Fall 2009 Inquiry Meet-Ups, FIN teams participated in a playful thought experiment. After almost a year of collecting and analyzing different kinds of data, they were asked to imagine the future — what kinds of changes would they like to see come out of their Inquiry? The changes might be practical and immediate, or more fanciful and ambitious in scope. The point was to take the insights they’d gained and start turning them into action that would benefit students. Then, they went into the TV studio and created “news reports from the future,” reporting on these changes as if they had already happened.
