Field Trip Earth
(http://www.fieldtripearth.org) is the newest conservation
education website available from the North Carolina Zoological
Society. FTE makes it possible for students to actively
participate in conservation projects by supporting interactions
with wildlife professionals. It also provides classrooms
with an array of resources including narratives, photos,
maps, and videoclips to support instruction. Educators at
all levels and in all disciplines also benefit from the
site's "Educator Resources" section, which features
a long list of model classroom strategies and detailed information
for executing each using resources available on the site.
The first
half of the workshop will be a hands-on exploration of the
instructional resources available on FTE. The latter half
will focus on generating ideas for implementing the site
in the classroom, and will require both hands-on work and
individual/small-group brainstorming. Participants are also
expected to complete a series of follow-up activities (all
conducted online) that require them to integrate the website
into a classroom experience, reflect on that integration
process and, finally,
participate in a brief evaluation of the website and the
training.
Mark
MacAllister coordinates Field Trip Earth; while with the
Chatham County Schools, he also worked on "The Elephants
of Cameroon" and "The Red Wolves of Alligator
River," the Zoo's other conservation education websites.
