The course is mostly classroom-based with an online component for student collaboration in WebCT Vista. There are a number of planned field trips for each module in the course. One of the modules is called "The Study of a Bog" and will focus on plant and animal adaptations and deal with the issues of conservation, habitat and pollution within this unique ecosystem. This module includes a field trip to Burns Bog in Richmond. The learning objectives you have set for this particular module and field trip are for students to work in groups to accomplish the following: 1. Identify and explain bog creatures 2. Comment and give feedback on peer work 3. Contribute to knowledge creation in an authentic way 4. Synthesize group findings There are a number of activities assigned to students on this particular field trip that will support these learning objectives, including: 1. Take photos of bog creatures and identify them; share these photos with the whole class emerging technologies that enhance teaching & learning Solution Activity 1: Shared Digital Repository Tool: Flickr Set-Up Time: 10 minutes Keep-up Time: Tech Savvy: Low Activity 2: On-the-Spot Feedback Tool: Twitter Set-Up Time: 10 minutes Keep-up Time: Tech Savvy: Low Activity 3: Share Knowledge Tool: Blog/Wiki Set-Up Time: 10 minutes Keep-up Time: Tech Savvy: Low Activity 4: Group Presentation Tool: Prezi Resources Check out our wiki for all the resources discussed in this session: http://wiki.ubc.ca/EmergingTech Training and more at: www.elearning.ubc.ca www.flickr.com www.twitter.com
