__WS1__ Maybe it's because my education was focused on sciences or maybe I had bad luck for teachers, but one of biggest problems of my education was boredom during lessons of history and geography which very often were just reading the textbooks outloud in the classroom or looking at tables and trying to memorize which country has what number of tones of the given resource or which blue stripe on the map has which name.

Instead of that I would try to stimulate the curiosity, by games and scenarios in which the main character controlled by students would have to use the table information or know some historical facts, to solve some puzzle, achieve some task or to defeat some enemy. Technology would allow us to visualize such scenarios and give them form of the game with many attempts possible. This would make the lessons more attractive.

__WS2__ When I was learning meteorology at the geography classes, I used to give latin name to clouds from images or photos, indicate the wind's direction and strength basing on simple maps with isobaric curves and memorizing few simple rules which would determine if it's going to rain or to get cold that day, but this seemed totally unpractical in context of forecasting. I would like to do the project on meteorology.
