Technology is transforming the way students want to learn and we want to be able to provide our seventh grade students with innovative lessons they will remember for a lifetime. It is amazing what teachers can do with a little help from the community. By giving students access to a set of Google Cardboard Goggles and an iPod Touch, we are allowing students to explore the amazing concepts of Life Science by virtually traveling outside the classroom walls. With the free Expeditions app, students who may never have seen an ocean can now dive deep below the surface and swim with the sharks or see a marine food web in action. They can then become microscopic and explore the organelles within a single cell rather than just memorizing notes in class and labeling diagrams. We want to share with our diverse population of students that when given the most basic resources, a little imagination and creativity can go a long way.
