Stanislav Petrov: An Unlikely Hero of the Cold War I initially stumbled upon Stanislav Petrov’s story while surfing the web roughly a year ago. I was astonished at how I had never heard of this man before, given that he may legitimately be the only man who can say he saved the world. It was apparent that none of my peers knew about him beforehand as well. To me, the whole situation was quite comical: Stanislav Petrov, after saving the world, retired into relative obscurity and just became a regular grumpy old man that nobody would suspect of being one of humanity’s greatest heroes. His story made a memorable impression on me, and when my teacher announced the theme of “taking a stand” in class, my mind instinctively jumped to his story.

From "The Student is the Class" blog:
The teacher can pose a project or problem that is relevant to the student. Once the problem is defined, the class can be broken down into groups of 4-5 students in order to research the solution to the problem. If complex, each of the groups may study an aspect of the problem. With these subjects, the student uses the computer as a research tool (after having learned to read). Students are taught to use search engines such as Google or Yahoo as well as the intranet made available by teachers gathering information relevant for the students.

Dozens of schools use projects (which score academic points in several subjects)
In August 2016 it became compulsory for every Finnish school to teach in a more collaborative way; to allow students to choose a topic relevant to them and base subjects around it. Making innovative use of technology and sources outside the school, such as experts and museums, is a key part of it. (see below)***

*** The aim of this way of teaching - known as project- or phenomenon-based learning (PBL) - is to equip children with skills necessary to flourish in the 21st Century, says Kirsti Lonka, a professor of educational psychology at Helsinki University. Among the skills she singles out are critical thinking to identify fake news and avoid cyber-bullying, and the technical ability to install anti-virus software and link up to a printer.
