This unit shows how there are multiple sports in different countries and
continents and shows how evolutionary the sports world is. There are many
different types of games and activities played all around the world that many
people have never heard about. This unit will help students better familiarize with
different activities from different countries. Most kids know just the generic
sports from the U.S. and don’t know how enjoyable other sports are.
Using the different kinds of technologies help kids better understand how
technology is evolving and how there are multiple ways to express an idea with
just using technology.
