Waters, J.K. (2011). Teaching green. the Journal, Retrieved from http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/04/06/teaching-green.aspx
Summary: In this article Waters talks all about Teaching Green. It discusses different tools that can help children learn about ways to become green. Some sites that were mentioned are Classroom earth, A walk in the Woods, Power up and the US EPA Teaching center. It is important for kids to grasp the idea around recycling and becoming green. teachers can use these tools to express to kids how they can be green. By going on a nature walk the children can experience agriculture by using this site. It is a fun way to get the children interacted with nature and the importance of keeping it alive. Another site to help teach children is Power up. This one sounds very fun and would keep the children wanting to learn more. It is a game show that teaches what the future world would be like if pollution dosen't stop. I think that this would show children the reality of things and make them want to stop this from actually happening. It will encourage children to Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce :).
Question 1: How effective do you think the sites that were mentioned would be?
I think that they could be very affective. they are ways to get the children interactive and wanting to learn more. Children will always learn more when they are interested in something and I think that these would help interest them into going green.
Question 2: What do you think about bringing technology in to teaching about eco systems?
I think it is a great way to teach about many subject. Children are becoming more and more tech savvy and the more we can show them things using technology the more we can help them expand their technological minds. :)
