In the Classroom
Include The Earth Project with your other resources when teaching about the environment or as part of lessons conducting interviews. Be sure to look at the Global Challenges section of the site to share when highlighting global tipping points due to climate change, pollution, and other issues. Ask students to choose one global issue to research in-depth either in groups or as an individual project. Use an organizational tool such as Draft, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18923">reviewed here</a>, to help students collaborate and manage information. Engage students by using Popped, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18662">reviewed here</a>, to create a social media feel to their work. Popped mimics the texting experience and converts information to a script. Have students choose from a variety of presentation tools such as Sway, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16373">reviewed here</a>, Powtoon, <a href="/single.cfm?id=13954">reviewed here</a>, or Venngage, <a href="/single.cfm?id=13706">reviewed here</a>, to share their findings and analysis with you and their peers.
