Hi Everyone, Trisha Korth (http://wikieducator.org/User:Tkorth), a primary school teacher from Warrington School has been granted a Primary Science Teacher Fellowship with the Royal Society. Trish has joined a team of marine ecologists from NIWA to study the coastal organisms living below the frozen sea ice of the Ross Sea in Antarctica., As we speak trish is connecting from Antarctica with students and WikiEducators around the world!
Trish signed up for a Learning4Content workshop and has established an OER portal page to document her journey. See: http://wikieducator.org/Antarctica Trish is connecting with students back home from Antarctica and is taking WikiEducator with her on this amazing discovery. For example, students from Waikouaiti School are asking: - How did it feel landing on the 2m thick ice? - What other types of animals have you seen? - How did it feel going in the dinosaur? - What did it feel like on the Dc17? - Have you done a cart-wheel on the ice yet? (Which will make sense when you visit Trish's portal page: http://wikieducator.org/Antarctica) - Where there any baby emperor penguins? Trish is an inspiration showing us what a motivated teacher can do with OER and open source technologies. Trish is posting a video and photo log of her experiences on WikiEducator. WE look forward to the next installment (see: http://wikieducator.org/Trisha%27s_photos_and_video_clips) . Trish -- WikiEducator say's thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!
