When most people think of the Arctic, they imagine vast expanses of snow and ice. But this far-north region is so much more than that! The Arctic is home to unique cultures and stunning landscapes. Teachers can use Zoom to connect their students with the Arctic and help them learn about this fascinating region. In this blog post, we will discuss some creative ways to use Zoom to bring the Arctic to your classroom!
Here are just a few ways.
- By providing a live video feed of the Arctic landscape, tundra, and animals in their natural habitat
- By setting up a "virtual field trip" where students can explore an Arctic ecosystem using an online map
- By sharing photos and videos of Arctic animals, plants, and scenery
- By inviting an expert on the Arctic to speak to the class via Zoom
- By facilitating a discussion about climate change and its effects on the Arctic
Teachers, are you looking for ways to connect your students with Arctic scientists? Zoom provides an excellent opportunity for this! Here are ten ways you can do it:
- Schedule a virtual field trip to an Arctic research station.
- Have a panel of Arctic scientists answer questions from your students live on Zoom.
- Give your students the chance to interview an Arctic scientist one-on-one.
- Host a virtual showing of an Arctic science documentary, followed by a discussion with the filmmakers.
- Invite an Arctic scientist to give a Zoom presentation on their research.
- Share resources from PolarTREC ( Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating ) with your students.
- Have your students create their own Arctic science projects to share with scientists via Zoom.
- Join a citizen science project led by an Arctic scientist.
- Connect with other teachers who are interested in Arctic science education.
- Keep up with the latest news and discoveries from the world of Arctic science through monthly Zoom sessions with different Arctic experts!
