https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8 Take a field trip! Check out one (or both) of the links provided in this week's Agenda. Be ready to share where you went as well as how you could incorporate these resources into the classroom. Bonus: What connections can be drawn to the Nieto & Bode text? en-us 2019-02-05 19:08:26 UTC 2021-02-03 02:13:17 UTC hello@padlet.com kuschem https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156608247 I went to volcano national park, and Carlsbad Caverns. Honestly the Caverns were more topical because on social media today a 30 year old bad went viral at a bat sanctuary as handlers flew it around the enclosure because it is too old to fly.]]> 2021-02-03 01:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156608247 sengal https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156611559 I looked at National Parks and clicked on Hawai'i Volcanoes. I could use this for a science lesson on volcano patterns, where they form on Earth, and whether it is likely that Washington state would have volcanoes based on where they typically show up on maps. We could learn how Hawai'i became a state to the US and the effects of colonization to the Hawaiian people/their resilience in sustaining their language, land, customs, and history despite being one of the most traveled destinations for vacationing and also facing devastation to their coral reefs due to tourists.

It showed how lava travels under ground to the coast to make new land.]]> 2021-02-03 01:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156614759 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156616021 Kenai Fjords: Alaska
Looking down into Glacier Crevasses. Watch how a glacier melts. Kayak through glaciers, listen to icebergs under water, see whales, and more...pretty amazing.
I could use the virtual field trip to connect to social studies and science units. ]]> 2021-02-03 01:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156616021 hammondsc https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156618513 Bryce Canyon: I could use this in my current unit on Weathering and Erosion of rocks and Geoscience Processes. I would have to create questions or detailed directions to go with it though... otherwise it is just a cool 3D picture to look at]]> 2021-02-03 01:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156618513 hbroden https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156620022 I explored a bunch of the national parks. We are in a science unit about ecosystems and this would be a great way for kids to see a wide variety of habitats. I also looked at the Native American Collections. Part of our curriculum in Social studies is Native American regions and how people adapted to their region. This collection would not only connect with that unit but also help students learn more about Native American cultures that are here in Minnesota and in our schools.]]> 2021-02-03 01:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156620022 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156621404 I explored the National Parks..these could all be tied to many science units on ecosystems, weather, coordinates, the importance of preserving our natural resources, and also 'planting the seed' of beauty of exploration ]]> 2021-02-03 01:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156621404 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156621554 I looked at the national parks and I think it could be fun to explore in class different areas together and tie it into social studies and science. ]]> 2021-02-03 01:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156621554 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156622033 I went on a tour of the coral reefs! I like that it pauses when u leave that specific tab

I loved how in addition to the tour there was talk of the Hawaiian Gods and the importance of land and how it is all connected. This works very well with teaching how to understand values, philosophies and traditions. ]]> 2021-02-03 01:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156624376 whitem61 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156625572 I toured several of the different national park locations. I'm impressed with the footage they provide as well as the interesting voice overs. This would be a great tool for younger students. ]]> 2021-02-03 01:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156625572 meganpriester https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156625671 I visited England - 10 Downing Street to be exact! I mainly visited there because I've been watching The Crown on Netflix and I"m super intrigued by that era and the royal family. However, I feel that I could have my students visit different countries based on shared and guided reading texts we use in the classroom. We try to use a lot of diverse, multicultural texts that reflect our students and sometimes students have a tricky time visualizing where the characters are. ]]> 2021-02-03 01:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156625671 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156629488 I visited the Hawaiian volcano. This was a great interactive presentation. I think using these virtual field trips to look into different cultures and geography of other people throughout the world bring about awareness for the students.]]> 2021-02-03 01:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156629488 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156637074 I keep trying to add to the Padlet and it tells me Padlet updated elsewhere and has a button for me to click update. I click it and the same thing happens. So here is my response. I clicked on Google Arts and Culture and found some great pictures and articles about the Civil Rights Movement. I focused in on the Chicago Law and Disorder. It was really interesting and a great resource when wanting pictures/articles from a particular event. Side note if anyone hasn't seen The Chicago 7 on Netflix is based on this time period. Its good give it a try. ]]> 2021-02-03 02:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156637074 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156637212 2021-02-03 02:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156637212 https://padlet.com/monosmith/zcpjytplnxq8/wish/1156645915 I tried to go to the Sydney  Opera House. I was unable to move around very easily on my iPad. I am not sure if it is because of my internet connection or if because it is not user friendly.
