In this session you will take part in an environmental scavenger hunt aligned with both Science and Health Curriculums, grades 6-12, to experience first hand, BEGINNING TO END, what this type of digitally enhanced lessons can be like.

In the following classroom simulation you will:
  • CRITICALLY THINK about the impact of human activities on the environment;
  • COLLABORATE with a team to unlock information;
  • COMMUNICATE and REFLECT on measures necessary to protect the environment; and
  • CREATE a brief presentation about your thoughts and observations concerning pollution in our local environment.

Upon completing the simulation, facilitators will share how the lesson was created and you will have access to tutorials and resources to assist you in making your own digitally enhanced scavenger hunt activities for any content area and/or unit. Standards Aligned within this Lesson

SESSION ZERO
  • Take a moment to introduce yourself to the folks sitting at your table: SCAN the GETTING TO KNOW YOU QR code at your table.
  • CONFIRM that your table i-Pad has the following applications: Haiku Deck and i-nigma QR Code Reader.
  • Missing something? Use the cheat sheet at your table to check for apps, and consider adding i-nigma to your own mobile device.
  • TAKE NOTES and feel free to jot down questions/thoughts, etc. throughout the lesson for our DEEP DIVE in Part II.

LET'S DISCUSS
Together, we will take a moment to DISCUSS our comments in the AnswerGarden above, and what we learned from the VIDEO.

GROUP PBL ACTIVITY | THE AMAZING RACE AGAINST POLLUTION


Getting Started - Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires


OBJECTIVE: Teach others about the different kinds of pollution that exist in our environment and consider what we can do to protect our environment.

1. WORK in a Team to collect information
  • what is your team name?
  • who has what role on your team?

2. FOLLOW your MAP to locate information
  • scan QR codes at each map station
  • put definitions in your own words
  • select or take photos of examples

3. CREATE a haiku deck presentation with the information collected
  • your team's definitions
  • images
  • thoughts on how this effects our environment
  • haiku deck tutorial

DEBRIEF DISCUSSION
  • Did you learn something….or realize what you want(ed) to learn?
  • What was fun/hard/frustrating?
  • How would this translate in your learning environment?


PART TWO | HOW DID WE DO IT?

LET'S DISCUSS
Each step is one educators do intuitively, i.e. defining learning goals, our pedagogical methods. Technology supports the ease in which we can research and collect content and pull supportive web tools and resources from our "toolbox" (steps 3 and 4 in our PowToon). The most critical part, however, is building digital supports for our students and anticipating needs during a technology enriched lesson. Walkthrough of This Lesson

REFLECTION AND QUESTIONS 
Picture
  • How do you envision this lesson translating to your content area?
  • What tools modeled in this lesson do you see yourself adding to your own digital toolbox?
  • Obviously this lesson modeled many digital tools and resources. How could you modify this kind of lesson with the amount of technology that best fits your comfort level? 


TOOLS & TUTORIALS

During your immersion lesson you were exposed to many digital tools and resources - some that you interacted with, and others that were modeled within the activity. Each tool name is linked to where you can find the tool online. The "Tutorial" link takes you where you can find a simple 'how-to' to assist you in getting started.
