Digitally Connecting with Nature

Link to my lesson plan: Exploring Trees in our Community

    This week's blog post focuses on how we can plan learning activities that encourage "digitally connecting with nature". This lesson is specific to the Grade 6 Trees and Forests outcome for Science, but I appreciate how the focus can be adapted to other outcomes relating to nature and community walks. This lesson is very open-ended and students are given the opportunity to engage in active exploration and discovery. The use of technology in the form of online visual journals also gives students the creative freedom to express their findings and new found learning in a way they best see fit!

Click here to take my virtual field trip to Machu Picchu! For this week's blog post, I learned how to create a "virtual field trip" using Google Tour Creator . I have always been interested in learning about ancient civilizations so I figured Machu Picchu would be the perfect place to create my field trip about. It would be great if I could use this "virtual tour" of Machu Picchu to teach students about the history of Peru, which is one of the outcomes for Grade 3 Social Studies. Creating virtual field trips would be a great way to engage students when teaching them about different places around the world. It provides students with amazing 360° visuals and allows them to "explore" using a click of a button! Virtual Field Trips are also a great way to integrate other subject areas such as Science, ELA, and Social Studies, within classroom technology.
