Tips on Using Project Finland

Getting Started in The Classroom

Want to get started using Project Finland right away? Here's a quick mini-guide that includes all the basics. For more information, download our site guide now.
Navigating the Site

The first time your students visit Project Finland, they'll need to create a quick user profile with a nickname, age, city, and state. (This information will only be used to personalize their site experience.)

You and your students can then choose from three interactive tours, including "The Environment", "Social Change", and "Global Connection". Each tour has five different sections; an entire tour takes 15-20 minutes and you can also just do individual sections. Switch tours at any time by clicking the Project Finland logo or choosing the appropriate color bar at the bottom left.
Playing the Game

When students sign in, they get a virtual "backpack". They'll receive "badges" for these backpacks when they successfully complete quizzes at the end of each tour section. Moomin will also ask special bonus questions during each quiz; if they answer these questions correctly they can view video clips that tell more about the story of Moomin, the Project Finland Site Guide. To see their winnings, they can click their backpack at any time; videos can be accessed by clicking "Other Gear".
 
Take Action

Each tour also includes a "Take Action" page with resources and links that encourage students to apply what they've learned through Project Finland in the real world. Visit these pages to discover fun and educational activities you can do with your class.
