Choices
Jiaming sat across from one of his favorite clients, Mrs. Seng. His partner, Siti, joined them by computer conferencing. Today’s discussion was focused on web advertising for Mrs. Seng’s new line of instantaneous gas water heaters.
While Jiaming returned to his office, Siti decided to Google an unfamiliar term used during the meeting. “Just what is a carbon footprint, “ she thought, “and what does it have to do with water heaters?”
Jiaming and Siti lived in the same neighborhood, but Siti preferred to work from home. She couldn’t imagine riding ten stations down the line every day like Jiaming.
“I wonder,” Siti said to herself, “if working from home makes a difference in my carbon footprint?”

What do you think this case is about?
What do you already know that relates to this case?
What do you need to know to understand the case?

The ICBL Discussion Method What did you do?
What did I do?
What might we have students do next?

Singapore Carbon Calculator: A Tool for Investigation
TASKS First, compare the
carbon cost of transportation to work for Jiaming and Siti.
Then, design and run an experiment using this simulation to answer other questions stemming from the case analysis.http://www.climatechange.sg/html/?link=1

Waterman & Stanley 2011
One hypothesis tested was: If a person works from home, then their energy expenditure will be less than a person who works from an office.
Shaded columns are kg C/yr for working at home.

Another hypothesis: If I take a shorter
shower, I will contribute less to the carbon footprint.

If you taught with the Choices case, would you usethe Singapore Carbon Calculator?

Goals of SCN: SCN is an active community of case users,
developers and researchers and a place to explore cases and PBL, to foster communication and collaboration and to encourage proposals for
development, implementation, and Research

Our subversive goal (heh heh heh)
Start a group in SCN that is interested in data literacy and cases
