“Walking
a Virtual Mile” was developed as part of the requirements
for EDTEC 570, Advanced Teaching with Technology. This lesson allows the students
to see outside their own “World” and provide the students an opportunity
to study people, places and environments of which they normally would not get
a first hand view.
"Volcano Mania" takes the student into the explosive world of volcanoes. Before the students make their first trip up Mt. Baker, they will need to become an expert in vulcanology and earn a certificate in vulcan dynamics. In order to obtain this certificate, the students will have to explore the world of volcanoes, be able to identify and predict what will happen should they find themselves in the middle of increased volcanic activity. Enter the world of Volcano Mania.
