This website is very easy to use and navigate. It provides lessons for educators to use, whether that be in a classroom or at home. These lessons allow children to learn about the 17 Sustainable Developmental Goals. Having this knowledge will promote world changes by the children of our future.

There are many tabs on this website including; “About Us”, “Themes+Collections”, “Resources”, “Impact”, “Partners”, and “Language”. Each of these exhibit valid information on this program.

“About Us” discusses who is behind this, what they do, their mission, the impact, and more. As stated on the website, “We produce creative tools for educators and action focused learning experiences for children and young people that build skills and motivation to take action for the SDGs.”(world’slargestlesson.globalgoals.org). Also, “We stand alongside partners including UNICEF and UNESCO to advocate for Education for Sustainable Development and encourage the widespread use of the Goals through formal education systems.”(world’slargestlesson.globalgoals.org). These quotes from this section give a clear idea of what their mission is and how they are doing it.

“Themes+Collections” is an essential part of this website. It provides information on how to introduce this to children, how to transform education, distanced learning, other stories, and more.

“Resources” shows books, lesson plans, and more to assist in teaching children about the goals. Each of these states what age they are for, the goal, and how to use it.

“Impact” provides viewers with projects, lessons, and surveys that have been done recently. These include “The Forest For Change”, “Global Goals Teaching Project”, and “World’s Largest Lesson Launches Global Student Survey”.

“Partners” lists all the partners, collaborators, and others worthy of thanks. This section asks the viewers to provide these organizations with social media support.

“Language” this section simply allows for the user to change the language of the website. These languages include English, Spanish, French, and more.

Providing students with the necessary information to be able to change the world someday is so important for the future. In this same manner, teachers need to be able to efficiently teach about these goals, which is why I chose this tool. There are so many areas that need to be bettered in order to benefit Earth and everyone in it. The Sustainable Development Goals covers every one of these areas, which is why they must be taught to students. Change must start somewhere, and maybe that somewhere is in classrooms across the world.

As a future educator I would definitely integrate this into my classroom. I would set aside 20-30 minutes a day to learn about these goals. Using the website and outside resources I would read my students books, assign projects, assign artwork, and play games. Of course, I would adjust each lesson to the ages/grades of the students. These fun activities would engage students, while still giving them the necessary tools to change the world.
