Sandy from Winnipeg, grade 5/6 lurking in on #EnviroEd chat during #mbEdchat

Joe_Teft Jan 27 @ 9:09 PM EST

#enviroed a1: I hope it looks like the rest of the world, people working together to tackle local and global issues in their shared space

BrewongleEEC Jan 27 @ 9:10 PM EST

Steve here - a teacher in #EnviroEd near Sydney Australia. Juggling about 10 things at once today - so will chat as I can!

#EnviroEd A: That all students have access to quality #EnviroEd education regardless of race, colour, socioeconomic status or geography

#EnviroEd A: That all students have access to quality #EnviroEd education regardless of race, colour, socioeconomic status or geography

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 #EnviroEd I hope that we won’t continue to let accessibility limit our use of the outdoors, but is that out of our control?

Alexis_Curious Jan 27 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: I would like to think it would embrace multiple perspectives and ways of knowing #EnviroEd

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:13 PM EST

Inclusive #EnviroEd needs to be promoted more. Often these concerns are not brought up to Centres or teachers who could help

Oakvillegreen Jan 27 @ 9:13 PM EST

#enviroed we offer free enviro ed in-class workshops, stewardship projects, nature hikes, ecoclub advice/resources 4 schools in #oakville!

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:14 PM EST

@MsWelbergen Here in our school board we have accessible trails, wheelchairs, sleds, gardens & front load #EnviroEd for other special needs

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1: Inclusiveness shoud be a field study designed for entire class-not just those who are allowed to go #enviroed https://t.co/QKceLObKj0

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:08 PM EST

Q1 for #EnviroEd ... https://t.co/UkI045prFm

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:15 PM EST

All terrain wheelchairs @ our Centres - used often! #EnviroEd https://t.co/lzKHkxwhL4

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:17 PM EST

@RangerRidley Sounds fantastic! Not sure if we have anything similar. Accessibility isn’t alwys a questn until it becomes a prblm. #EnviroEd

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:17 PM EST

@PaulKelba Good point. I recall HS student who played in OHL not allowed to come due to hockey insurance - participated from afar #EnviroEd

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

Q2: What does sustainability look like in experiential environmental education in 2020? #enviroed https://t.co/uroRVvp4AJ

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:19 PM EST

Biggest issue I face is assumption that "Centres can't accommodate" In 2020 ...I hope it's easier to just ask for inclusiveness in #EnviroEd

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:20 PM EST

Yeah, wrestling with schoolyard trip vs. trip to a site - our board struggles with parent permission on many #enviroed trips @RangerRidley

BrewongleEEC Jan 27 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 - hopefully looking back at successes and the that #EnviroEd and sustainability are mainstream and embraced by all!

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:22 PM EST

Thanks to organizations such as @EcoCentres https://t.co/LpGCg1hDhF #Susty is on a lot of #EnviroEd facilities minds https://t.co/UQkTrBTqwF

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:23 PM EST

@Alexis_Curious In that case - GPS data collected & brought back for him to work on Forest succession. #EnviroEd

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:23 PM EST

Good point, would hope educators can access the capacity to design tasks for their entire class #enviroed @MsWelbergen

envirojer Jan 27 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2 Future Env Sci will look like community based projects where ss teach classes on #sustainability #nativeplants #InvasiveSpecies #enviroed

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:24 PM EST

In my 2020 Vision more #OutdoorEd & #EnviroEd programs & projects consider impacts beyond "today's visit"

YoOceans Jan 27 @ 9:25 PM EST

#enviroed what a great discussion! Lots of inspiration for our future generations!

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:25 PM EST

Agreed Jeremey - Community Based, Citizen Science, etc ... Making a difference in #EnviroEd https://t.co/Eb32hAn3Rz

envirojer Jan 27 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2 Future Env Sci will look like community based projects where ss teach classes on #sustainability #nativeplants #InvasiveSpecies #enviroed

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:25 PM EST

A2. #EnviroEd… as a teacher, the cost of transport to sites is a “sustainability” issue. Teaching in situ is encouraged.

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:26 PM EST

Yeah! That #enviroed is associated with progressive, personal and mandatory educational pedagogy https://t.co/au7oaxK6m1

BrewongleEEC Jan 27 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 - hopefully looking back at successes and the that #EnviroEd and sustainability are mainstream and embraced by all!

Joe_Teft Jan 27 @ 9:26 PM EST

@PaulKelba @MsWelbergen #enviroed with communities like ours, not everyone needs to design tasks we just need a great community to work with

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:27 PM EST

Q3 for #EnviroEd https://t.co/0IvUEBXQJb

envirojer Jan 27 @ 9:28 PM EST

A2 Communities are hungry for partnerships. #enviroed is a natural fit.

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:29 PM EST

Well said Sandy, place-based!!! Not to say a residential program can't be sequentially embedded though #enviroed https://t.co/JyMNuassmn

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:25 PM EST

A2. #EnviroEd… as a teacher, the cost of transport to sites is a “sustainability” issue. Teaching in situ is encouraged.

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:30 PM EST

In the next few years my vision of #EnviroEd would see the concept of "Risk" as something to thoughtfully embrace. Not fear

BrewongleEEC Jan 27 @ 9:31 PM EST

#EnviroEd A3 : Risk Mitigation - hopefully not as much paperwork as currently!

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3. #EnviroEd I hope that risk once again is recognized as important element to learning and growing. “No” or “can’t” is too prevalent.

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:31 PM EST

Agreed programs like @peelcww (Classrooms Without Walls) blend both. Allows epiphany moments to blossom #EnviroEd https://t.co/VoVLiOS2Fa

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:29 PM EST

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:33 PM EST

Spot on Joe--Uni programs need to teach future educators the 'How to' embrace the local community #enviroed https://t.co/vK1RVap79o

Joe_Teft Jan 27 @ 9:26 PM EST

@PaulKelba @MsWelbergen #enviroed with communities like ours, not everyone needs to design tasks we just need a great community to work with

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:34 PM EST

#EnviroEd is so much more poignant when Ss are allowed out of the line, walk away from the group & take a chance at something new

Alexis_Curious Jan 27 @ 9:35 PM EST

@PaulKelba @Joe_Teft what would that training / education look like? #EnviroEd

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:36 PM EST

The greatest risk in educating youth in #EnviroEd is to remove all the risk Grass stains & scraped knees build character

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:38 PM EST

Good Q: would say more like 'Natural Curiosity' from @LSF_LST #enviroed @Alexis_Curious @Joe_Teft

KinderFynes Jan 27 @ 9:38 PM EST

@RangerRidley forgive late start! Important topic 4 me, inclusion around Ss whose ERF's may not be full-day, tricky to plan #enviroEd

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:38 PM EST

Q4: What does innovation look like in experiential environmental education in 2020? #enviroed https://t.co/xIM2iB9lhi

envirojer Jan 27 @ 9:38 PM EST

A3 Ss will arrive in HS knowing about #environment issues already and be ready to engage and create solutions #EnviroEd

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:40 PM EST

#EnviroEd 2020 Vision Field Work ... In all weather - not just when the sky is blue & temperature mild - #realife Right @MsADeJong?

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:41 PM EST

@envirojer - in fact Ss will have a connection between all grades in #EnviroEd

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4. #EnviroEd I’d love to see Ss involved + in planning & investigating enviro experiences.

prairiemusik Jan 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

@MsWelbergen Ooo... I like that... I should do that with my enviroclub :-) #enviroed

KinderFynes Jan 27 @ 9:43 PM EST

@PaulKelba I see citizen science as big area for innovation, with tools to participate so widely avail #enviroed

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:43 PM EST

2020 Vision for #EnviroEd - 4yrs from now Ts will become more comfortable knowing when time is right to BYOD or to leave it behind.

envirojer Jan 27 @ 9:44 PM EST

@RangerRidley Environmental jobs will be embedded in business, science, politics, computing....#enviroed

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:45 PM EST

@KinderFynes @PaulKelba Agreed! Citizen Science even for Kindies My daughter in that photo -5yrs old & loves Lost Lady Bug Project #EnviroEd

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:45 PM EST

.@KinderFynes Thanks! I was searching for that word… citizen science! Great opportunities to grow & discover #EnviroEd

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:46 PM EST

Boom! @KinderFynes Citizen Science is the conduit/paradigm shift between being 'schooled' and being REAL #enviroed https://t.co/05K8x1FOnJ

KinderFynes Jan 27 @ 9:43 PM EST

@PaulKelba I see citizen science as big area for innovation, with tools to participate so widely avail #enviroed

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:47 PM EST

Future #EnviroEd will step away from walking lectures It'll have meaning & purpose beyond the grade It'll build connections with community

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:48 PM EST

Experiental #EnviroEd should lead to further inquiry. No field trip or walk should end with a rubric. It should end with a question mark

Oakvillegreen Jan 27 @ 9:48 PM EST

A2: sustainability in #enviroed = local, community-connected, nearby nature as stewardship opportunity/inspiration https://t.co/dNrJl5pa1W

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

Q2: What does sustainability look like in experiential environmental education in 2020? #enviroed https://t.co/uroRVvp4AJ

KinderFynes Jan 27 @ 9:49 PM EST

@PaulKelba and the evidence of real-time climate change is all around us: species migration, glaciers, tree loss, season creep #enviroed

prairiemusik Jan 27 @ 9:49 PM EST

This whole chat is helping me so much with next steps with my school enviroclub... love it #enviroed

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:49 PM EST

Quote of the chat so far: "knowing when time is right to [include technology] or to leave it behind" #enviroed https://t.co/7RHdvxCFz2

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:43 PM EST

2020 Vision for #EnviroEd - 4yrs from now Ts will become more comfortable knowing when time is right to BYOD or to leave it behind.

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:50 PM EST

#EnviroEd can be better front loaded in the future ... & can be debriefed better via innovation

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:51 PM EST

Well said @RangerRidley! Can I quote it and make a poster for my class? #seriousinquiry #enviroed

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:51 PM EST

Q5 - #EnviroEd https://t.co/bCiyNMtQ7r

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:52 PM EST

sooo true--and with CO2, energy leak, ect.. detectors, students own the problem on another level #enviroed @KinderFynes

KinderFynes Jan 27 @ 9:54 PM EST

A5: educators need to understand value of outdoor learning. Can't be taught (to Ts or Ss) on paper. Must be experienced #100lgs #enviroed

MsWelbergen Jan 27 @ 9:54 PM EST

Model an appreciation for the environment. Dress for the weather. Don’t fear failure. #EnviroEd

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:55 PM EST

#EnviroEd minded Ts need support, networks, best practices & not only @ once a yr conferences-frequently. Boards & community should consider

PaulKelba - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:56 PM EST

A5: Knowledge building(concepts) connecting students to the natural world & MAKING STUDENTS FEEL ALIVE #enviroed https://t.co/jYrMAwQyhS

Great to finally be part of #enviroed again! Thanks! So much to think about!

TTMobile_ca Jan 27 @ 9:56 PM EST

#enviroed is now trending in Canada, ranking 49

RangerRidley - Moderator Jan 27 @ 9:58 PM EST

#EnviroEd is a passion. Few like -20 degrees or mosquitos bites. We must encourage & build upon that spark. Don't let it become "a job"
