Focus the Nation: Global Warming Solutions for America
Set aside January 31st. It is a national teach-in day based upon the Focus the Nation website set aside to engage millions of students and citizens with political leaders and decision makers about Global Warming Solutions.
Check out: Focus the Nation: Global Warning Solutions for America
Mount Saint Mary College will participate in the nation-wide event by offering campus-wide activities on January 30th and 31st. The Mount will join in the 2% solution, hold a panel debate, view the Inconvenient Truth in the student theater, and hold various discussions on climate change, evidence, consequences, political and social issues, and what you can do about these issues.
For a quick idea for engaging your class in the discussion about climate change add a project to your curriculum and have your students use digital technologies in their project presentation....
By using technology in your course activities students will be engaged actively - they will 'learn by doing' and remember what they learned.
Since climate change is a global issue using new digital technologies that connect the world virtually would allow the world to hear or view these projects and allow student voices to be heard wide-wide.
If you do a project using a new technology be sure to share it with your colleagues and with us. Everyone will benefit by hearing your ideas too.
