These videos are then used in a website that the learners can use to complete their board game.(www.wsparrow.co.za/entrep/index.html)
Using MS Publisher, the learners create a board game with a bias towards EMS. (How to become an entrepreneur)
The learners use both the Internet, as well as videos the other classes have created for research to complete their board game with cards that are picked up. The cards have good and bad skills and characteristics of an entrepreneur. The learners are also required to fill in blogs and wikis.
