Creativity and Innovation. Students can be encouraged to
identify interesting heroes and produce creative stories, short
films, and artwork to honor them that can then be shared through
the MY HERO website. Communication and Collaboration. Since MY
HERO includes participants and an audience from around the
world, students embark on the path of creating clear and
compelling content when they create their work for publication.
Teachers have commented on student awareness of the impact of
their work and the widespread reactions they receive. Critical
Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making. Students employ
online and offline critical thinking, problem-solving and
decision-making tools as they evaluate their research and decide
on heroes to feature in their stories, artwork, or short film.
Digital Citizenship. As responsible global citizens, students
consider heroic attributes that contribute positively to our
world, and choose stories of heroism to share through their
contributions to the MY HERO website.
