Ecology Meets Technology
Welcome to my project for an Online Learning Communities class.
This website will take you through some suggestions for taking a high school biology class outside for an ecology unit. To enhance things, we are going to look at using technology - outdoors.
Why?
As teachers, we know there is a push for us to become more technologically literate, and to encourage more use of technology by our students. But for some core classes, that isn't as easy as it sounds.
So this module will help you incorporate at least one technology enhanced lesson into your curriculum - and at the same time get the students outside! After all, how can they truly appreciate an ecology unit if they are inside the whole time?
Something to consider ...
