Exploring environmental education from a tech perspective, or is it the other way around?

@MrSoclassroom We saw some monkeys and monitor lizards. But a normal day at McRitchie it’s a holiday here so taking advantage #enviroed

@amckiel @cmk1965 @sayerschool are you all looking into #soil for this unit?

[Joe Teft @Joe_Teft]

@sayerschool @MNDSingapore @KentJamieson1 Cool this is an important thing to wonder about when working in a green space. Another thing for our students to inquire about

@NikeService Hey team. With the new app the data doesn’t sync with my watch. Any ideas?

[Joe Teft @Joe_Teft]

@JenniferBaron7 a3: we try to get the kids to tune into urbanisation, and look for the biodiversity there, then do the same thing in a natural area. Diversity makes systems stronger, we try to start from there #enviroed

@RLStrnad @LaurelFynes @EnviroChris2 Sounds amazing!

a7: listen, read, assume your worldview isn't correct?

@LaurelFynes @EnviroChris2 for sure, being the other can be a powerful experience, i realised that places weren't mine to go as a pleased, places have power and I needed to honour the place before my desires to discover, it was an interesting process. #enviroed

a6: teaching in an international school is always a different experience, yesterday we were looking at artifacts and looking at how our biases shape our perspectives of use #enviroed

@scomorrison a5: in Canada, David Suzuki has been an environmental leader for most of my life, his daughter Severn too, powerful people, I don't think they identify as white... his notes to his grandchildren is a pretty engaging read too. #enviroed

[Joe Teft @Joe_Teft]

a5: by putting other stories first? By dismantling the stories we share about place and work from other cultures or diverse cultures narratives? #enviroed

[Joe Teft @Joe_Teft]

@scomorrison bell hooks I feel has a lot to say about this, even though we recognize privilege it is difficult for us to embody a different kind of life. #enviroed

a3: Greenwood talks a lot about this I think, when he talks about critical sense of place, he tries to get us to address the colonising aspects and share those stories. #enviroed
