Earth Day 2021 HyperDoc

 

Last week I shared a collection of resources connected to Earth Day and I promised that I would share any lessons or ideas I created connected the resources. I am planningto use Pear Deck and Google Slides to facilitate a student centered HyperDoc connected to Earth Day. For another class, I am going to use one of the Google Applied Digital Skills Earth Day Activities.

A HyperDoc is an interactive Google Doc that replaces the worksheet/lecture method of delivering instruction. For this Earth Day Activity, I am using Google Slides and Pear Deck. 

Earth Day 2021 – Pear Deck Edition

I’ve minimized the instructions in the slide deck because I plan on working through this with my students. If my students were completing this without my help, I would include additional instructions in Google Classroom to help them work through this presentation at their own pace. 

If you don’t plan on using Pear Deck, here is a copy of the slide deck without Pear Deck.

If you have any questions or need any help, let me know. Also feel free to copy/modify this activity and as always if you have any suggestions or feedback, let me know.

Google’s Applied Digital Skills is a free collection of digital lessons. This year Google has created and shared two lessons connected to Earth Day. One ask students to create a slogan using Google Sites to inspire people to take environmental action. The second is full of some incredible resources to help students research a topic related to Earth Day.

TEDEd Earth School - 30 Video Quests for Students to Celebrate Our Planet

 

Last week I shared a Collection of Earth Day Resources and earlier this week I shared a HyperDoc and Google Applied Digital Skills Lesson for Earth Day.

Today I wanted to share one last resource that is ready for teachers and students to use straight out of the digital box. Who’s ready for to go to Earth School?

TEDEd is one of my favorite resources to engage students with videos and the TEDEd Earth School is a great place to take a day, a week or even a month to explore our amazing planet. TEDEd has compiled a collection of 30 unique video quests to engage students in celebrating, exploring, and connecting with nature. 

Welcome to Earth School! Embark on 30 adventures – or Quests – that will help you understand and celebrate our natural world, while learning about how dependent we are on our planet. Now more than ever, we need to protect, nurture and care for Earth – so join us to learn something amazing in every quest. Within each lesson, you’ll find fascinating resources compiled by Earth experts and ideas for getting involved in ways that count. Join us to learn more, create, act and share your journey (#EarthSchool) towards a cleaner and greener life.
