Leader: Part of this activity involves discussion with partners.
Please be sure that everyone has a partner before they engage
in the activity and help people keep track of time. |
The teachers
in the classroom segments share a common goal, that of giving
their students "a distinct stewardship attitude towards their
planet, to integrate themselves into problem solving, [so] that
they can be part of the solution…."
Take 10
minutes and in writing, describe how you might adapt their
goal and approach to your own classroom and community. Where possible
and appropriate, be sure your plan includes provisions for (1)
applications of GIS; (2) field study; (3) inquiry learning; and
(4) collaboration with community members. In the remaining time,
discuss your plan, as well as how you might assess the results,
with a partner.
