The project addresses ways to enrich student knowledge in different subjects related to the migration process. The project is unique because it fulfills the special needs of each student. Moreover, working with the project provides teachers and students with the opportunity to get out of the classroom and into nature. The results of the project as per today are evident in different ways. My students have evolved into being more open-minded, more conscious about their natural surroundings, better English speakers, and more savvy computers users.
Teachers report enjoying and benefiting from alternative teaching methods.
The data can be downloaded and imported into a spreadsheet to calculate different statistics, such as migration distances and speed. In Jerusalem is the Jerusalem Birds Observatory, a first of its kind project in the garden of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. In Ort-Kramim High School in Karmiel, a unique curriculum was developed for students in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. The Ort Schools organization developed this method with the purpose of teaching students how to find and solve technical problems in an open-minded way. For more information, visit the Ort Web site .
