Description
How should environmental education look in the computer age? This talk will examine how digital environments help us think more deeply about the natural and built environment. We look at virtual internships where students think and work as engineers, urban planners, and real-world problem solvers, thus increasing their understanding of complex topics. Virtual Internships show how to align technology-based learning, teaching, and assessment to create a new model of environmental thinking.
