About the Program
As a final project, participants select an animal as the basis for curriculum unit development (to be completed alone or in collaboration with other course participants). Teachers help one another explore and problem-solve practical issues related to the implementation of their mini-units on a PLN 7B LMS. Activities include a Before/During/ After visit to the zoo (or a nature center) to provide a hands-on opportunity to learn more about amphibians and animals through the creation of a collaborative unit for classroom implementation during the course.
