E-Olympics: Online Tools for Sustainability Education!

by Angela ~ May 31st, 2010. Filed under: Sustainability Education Intensive.

Background:
Online technologies (Web 1.0 & Web 2.0) have become an integral component of effective contemporary pedagogy. From email to Facebook, nearly everyone accesses and uses the web daily. One study shows that teenagers ‘spend an average of 31 hours online’ per week!

Activity:
Find resources and tools on the SEI Blog and beyond to help develop your SEP. In small teams, complete the following activities and post your answers to the E-Olympics blog entry before others to win! Team members can work individually or in groups. The first team to complete the required number of entries for each event wins that event.

**Note: When typing up your entry in the comment box, insert your
Team Name (i.e. Team #1) in the ‘Name’ slot**

Event I:
The SEI Blog Scavenger Hunt

1. Find 8 resources on Refworks that you can use for your SEP – total of 8 examples required by the team.

2. Find other things in the SEI blog you can use in your SEP – total of 6 examples required by the team.

Event II:
Surfing the Web

3. Find 2 resources from each of these types of levels: (a) civic, (b) provincial and (c) national or international – total of 6 required by the team.

4. Find other things you can use for your SEP from the web – total of 4 required by the team.

**Note: There were some issues with this activity during the SEI and did not play out in full***

    Wade Davis – he also has a great book I’ve read called “Light at the Edge of the World” which has great relevance in a conversation about culture death and cultural competence.
