https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp I ask that each person post something that might be useful to our PBTL learning community for making PB part of the fabric of our work. Question: What can you share that will give each other access the “potential lying untapped in the commonplace, in our own places, in ourselves, and the relation between all three” (Orr, p. 183). Maybe Orr’s other words reminded you of something that you can share. I hope it is obvious but... share something other that the resources that we have used so far in the course. en-us 2022-04-17 01:31:21 UTC 2022-06-16 00:24:16 UTC hello@padlet.com pbocko https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/1402926505 Interesting ideas that can help you reflect further on the DYP collage work.]]> 2021-04-10 17:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/1402926505 https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/2147890644 The Beetles Project (not to be confused with the bug) is a hub for place-based science teaching ideas....

These are interdisciplinary conservation and environmental education program curriculum guides that focus on wildlife and habitat. They are all tailored to place.

There are grants for the set-up, and your local fish hatchery will deliver around 100 eggs for you to raise and then release into a designated waterway in the spring. It's an awesome way to integrate water studies. -Devin]]> 2022-04-21 14:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/2152151771 twoods92 https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/2154084267 IHE is a great resource for educators and activists hoping to inspire change in their communities.

It also has links to articles about how PBTL is being incorporated in various ways and in different places. I think knowing about local events where you can collaborate with other educators is a wonderful place to gain more knowledge and ideas about PBTL. Having curriculum and planning tools is so helpful especially when starting out in the field or trying to take your classroom in this direction.]]> 2022-04-23 20:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/2154857584 https://padlet.com/pbocko/4h9z196hiuyvfabp/wish/2154936730 While not strictly about PBLT, I recently listened to two NPR podcasts about using indigenous science practices to address concerns in indigenous communities. These podcasts made me think of the readings and videos we listened to about decolonizing pedagogy, including voices from the community about project related decisions, and conducting projects that improve the community.
