Students will be challenged to not only design a creative presentation to promote student interest in an aviation academy but to demonstrate the need to include a specific discipline in the aviation academy curriculum. In this project, students will create web-based presentations that they will share with their peers. Students will engage in creative, meaningful and challenging classroom academic options involving exploration using technology. Students will direct their learning, via group discussions with the resulting outcomes of creating a simulation game of a survival scenario, which demonstrates their understanding of the essentials of survival. Their survival exploration and escape adventure will require detailed accounts of how they avoided incineration through creation of a new habitat.
Wetlands are very unique phenomenon.
Teachers will then debrief the experience and define engaged learning attributes. Teachers will work in collaborative groups to share information and problem-solve. Participants have been assigned by their district to plan for and open a new type of learning environment. This task will be a hands-on model of engaged learning so that the participants will experience the process. Particpants will develop engaged learning projects under the ongoing and consistent leadership of the facilitator.
