| Creating Climate Change Lessons for K-6 Learning using the Technology Integration Planning Model (TIP Model-Phase I) | ||
Team Climate Change Members: Gilbert Avent, Jessica Hathaway, Joshua Joyner, David Nichols, Coralee Phillips, Alison Rowe, Ava Simmons, and Kelsey White. Mentor: Mr. Ervin M. Howard, EDUC 203 Instructor Theme: Finding Food for the Whales Description: The preservice student teachers of the EDUC 203 course will spend several weeks in developing climate change lessons for K-6 learning. The EDUC 203 will follow a model called the technology integration-planning model that requires preservice student teachers to develop instruction that require technology usage. The TIP model is composed of three phases. The preservice student teachers will focus on phase I. The first phase (Phase I) requires the preservice teachers to have specific knowledge before creating the lessons. The preservice students will learn the fundamentals of climate change education with the assistance of their instructor, Mr. Ervin Howard in understanding the climate change process. In addition, Mr. Howard will guide the preservice student teachers in acquiring pedagogical and technological knowledge that are suitable in establishing instructional, pedagogical, and technological connections to climate change learning. The preservice student teachers will develop ideas of proposed climate change lessons based on a thematic connection, which is finding food for the whales. The preservice student teachers will hypothesize and identify environmental conditions of the oceanic North Atlantic region of the world that are suitable for phytoplankton production in sustaining whale species. The preservice student teachers will learn how the effects of climate change affect phytoplankton production by creating and generating simulations using the NASA DICCE Giovanni software application from the NASA website. The preservice student teachers will create lessons on climate change that will include using the climate data from the NASA DICCE Giovanni software application. |
