Yesterday, Wednesday October 15, began our classroom viewing of the "Planet Earth" series created by the BBC and viewed here in the states on the Discovery Channel. We began with the episode entitled "Pole to Pole". The episode showed the earth from top to bottom, focusing mainly on the sun's influence on the earth. As the year progresses we will view the entire 12 part series.
As an instructor I feel that in order to truly convey the importance of environmental stewardship my students need to be aware of a world beyond their front door. This series provides us with an opportunity to view parts of the world we will never visit, and allows for open dialogue on a wide range of topics, in an informative and entertaining manner.
As we view more episodes we will add our thoughts and learning moments here on our blog!
STUDENTS AND BLOG VISITORS- After viewing the first episode of the series, what were three things that you found really cool or interesting? Of those three, which would you like to learn more about?
