Lovin' Mother Earth
BoardBuzz is jumping on the green bandwagon. And just in time for Earth Day. Actually, we're just reporting on the cool stuff that's going on over at the Learning First Alliance's new Web site, Public School Insights.
There's a great list of coming attractions in advance of Earth Day, which include (according to the site):
Renowned polar-explorer Will Steger, whose current expedition through Ellesmere Island is being broadcast on-line to schools across the country;
Journalist Richard Louv, whose best-selling book Last Child in the Woods has helped spark a national movement to "leave no child inside;"
Portland, Oregon principal Tamala Newsome, who leads one of the nation's most celebrated green schools;
Other people leading the environmental education movement in public schools nationwide.
One of our favorites include the story of Simon Hauger's students and their high-performance hybrid car. It's definitely a warm fuzzy!
You've got to check back in the coming days and weeks, because the interviews and original content are not to be missed!
