How did early Sailors navigate the Oceans?

I am a systems engineer and an astronomy lover since 1997. I work in the petroleum sector and I disclose astronomy in schools and colleges in my city since that year. I have learned a lot of astronomy over the years. I have participated in numerous meetings and festivals here in Colombia and in my city I was the organizer of two National Encounters of Astronomy RAC in my city. My experience as a broadcaster is wide and I want to train with this course in the way of teaching astronomy to children from an early age. It is a pleasure to be sharing with you.

Yesterday, March 10, 2017 I was in an infatil school, accompanying the boys and girls in an astronomy exhibition. Take my telescopes, the rain did not let the Moon see. But the issues raised by the children were extraordinary.

We will address particular concepts related to the movement of the Sun during the day and the movement of stars and planets in the night sky. We will also be talking about cardinal directions, latitude and longitude concepts, and coordinate systems, understanding how stars can be used to measure latitude of a certain location.

Today I shared with my community a talk about the movement of the sun, moon and earth. We explain why the moon presents the same face to us, the dynamics of the eclipses of the moon and sun, we model the seasons of the year and explain a little more in detail the Eratostenes experiment.

We are invited to do three activities with our students

From section 1.2 of module 1 : For additional information about constellations, check the following activity on the Space Awareness Website.

From section 1.3 of module 1:  Do you think this topic could be incorporated in the school curriculum? Please point out three subject areas or topics you think that could be addressed using the navigation theme

Activity with Stellarium : The steps are indicated in section 1.5 of this module

Archaeoastronomy is the study of how people have understood, conceptualized and used the phenomena in the sky and what role the sky played in their cultures, by analysing their material remains.

You can create your Learning Diary in any way you like but make sure that it can be easily shared and is easy to understand as this will allow others to provide you feedback.

An easy tool to use to create your Learning Diary is Padlet and we have provided you instructions for setting up your own Padlet below.

As we will be using Padlet also in other parts of the course, it will be useful to get familiar with Padlet early on. However, you are very welcome to use alternative tools to create your learning diary such as Glogster, Dipity, Google Documents or Tackk or any other tool you think works well for this.

The example of a Learning Diary you can see below was created by a course participant of another course using the Tackk tool.

Is an international project aimed at children and adolescents from Europe and beyond. They offer those who take the course to see children and young people as the future of great travelers to space Space.

Awareness offers very high quality resources and the contents are adaptable for educators as well as for children and with a diversity of areas of knowledge.

This course Navigating Through the Ages is produced by two strategic partners: Interactive Nucleus of Astronomy and European Schoolnet and with the support of many partners.

GENERAL DATA OF THE COURSE

Duration and Charge: 4 weeks, started on February 20, 2017 with a module 0 and ends on April 2, 2017. In total there are 5 modules with a load per week of dedication of 2 to 5 hours. They contain reflection and discussion activities and each module is finalized with an evaluation.

Discussions and Exchanges: To share questions and opinions you should use the social networks, the FAQ section and the forum.

Assessment and Certification: Each module is evaluated with a questionnaire and at the end of the course a work must be presented and will be reviewed by other colleagues.

Since ancient times, man has always been fascinated by the observation of the sky. The course Navigation Through the Ages allows us to take a trip through the history of Greece, meet the explorers of the Fifteenth Century and see how the Galileo satellite program has been very important for the citizens of this planet.

This course is based on the pedagogical foundations of the Space Awareness MOOC project, taking advantage of information technologies and good classroom practices.

This course focuses on 4 topics:

1. Foundation ideas and topics of Navigation through the Age

2. The History of Navigation

3. Navigation through Ages: tools and terms

4. The Galileo European Satellite System

See that children, young people and adults have fun watching the sky with telescopes. For it is a way of thanking me for what I have done for years and motivates me to continue doing so. I have never been a teacher, but I have helped many to create clubs or nurseries within their educational institutions.

My expectation Pedagogy Learning this course is to teach the subjects better space and astronomy to children from a very early age.
