Running Virtual Nature Program Online

In this 8 week Course Teachers and Facilitators will learn effective ways of bringing their fun, play and adventures of inquiry learning outside online. This course is for educators that run an inquiry and play based class or program and are looking for the pedagogy and techniques to take the program online. We will use the forest school pedagogy as a basis and and examine ways to adapt to online effectively and techniques that work better than in person forest school so that your online classes will not be seen as a a secondary choice but instead will be seen as a better model for some families. Each class will consist of examining the pedagogy, techniques to use and the sharing of projects that each educator will complete between classes. Projects will focus on showing an understanding a material of the as well as practicing competency in using online tools such as websites, blogs or social media.

We also offer one day workshops with educators on how to include play and inquiry based learning in your classroom. We also provide workshops that include elements involved with innovative learning with your students (risk, self regulation etc). Workshops are customizable to your audience so we can tweak current workshops to suit your group or we can work on a new workshop topic you think would be of interest to your group.
