Today - "Learning Through National Parks" + This Week's Presentations at the Learning Revolution Online Daily Education Conference #learningrevolution


Join us today at 3:00 pm US-EDT for a special webinar on "Youth Learning Through National Parks" with: Dr. Jessica Thompson, Professor, Northern Michigan University; Dr. Ana Houseal, Associate Professor and Science Outreach Educator, University of Wyoming; Milton Chen, Senior Fellow, Edutopia.org (moderator); Tom Medema, Acting Associate Director, Interpretation, Education, & Volunteers, National Park Service; and Jon Jarvis, former Director, National Park Service.

This is the first in a series of webinars at LearningRevolution.com presenting case studies and research findings from a new book, America’s Largest Classroom: What We Learn from Our National Parks (U. California Press, 2020). 
“Educating the whole child” should include experiential learning in local communities, states, and regions. National Park sites represent our nation’s most significant landscapes, ecosystems, and historical/cultural sites. From the Grand Tetons, the Great Smokies, and Cuyahoga Valley to Monticello, Civil War battlefields, and Japanese internment camps, students are learning first-hand, in motivating and authentic ways, about climate change, U. S. history, biodiversity, and cultural diversity. National Parks and their partners have published a wide variety of online resources to inspire and support in-person visits. Virtual field trips to the Grand Canyon, Alaska’s Katmai National Park, and more than 40 parks have become even more popular during this Covid crisis. These immersive, place-based experiences also lead students to reconsider their own goals and abilities, “learning from the outside in.”
This is a free event hosted by LearningRevolution.com. Please join the community to access this or any of the other sessions or recordings of our daily online education conference.
