	Environmental Education A quick look at a few technologies that you could use to enrich the delivery of environmental education. These are the building blocks for online learning.

1	Delivery - Centra, Elluminate, WiZIQ We are using "Webinar" software to deliver this presentation remotely. Often participants are sitting at separate computers, and logged in separately, which enables them to interact with the facilitator, raise hand, text, and ask questions verbally with a microphone.

2	Structure - Learning Management System (LMS) - Moodle This is what I am using to put all this content onto the web. You can enrol students, teach, talk and assess students, and much more. <-- RSS news feeds <-- Latest Weather <-- Random Glossary <-- Forums Environmental Glossary Environmental Education Day Forum

3	Engaging Content - available freely on internet SA Water Interactive house Backyards4wildlife.com.au Wipe Out Waste Games for children to learn Build a native garden that is animal friendly

4	Google Maps Great tool for location based topics, seeing topography etc. Waterwatch - Site monitoring Map Plant map of Adelaide Make your own - Uraidla Sustainability Walk Resource

5	Online Resources - Native Plant Catalogue Online tools that make finding information simpler, clearer and more enjoyable. plants.backyards4wildlife.com.au

6	Learning Objects - Scootle (LORN) flexible learning toolboxes Share great resources that others have built. There are many of these repositories - some are freely available, others you need a login, and with some you need to pay. Flexible Learning Toolbox Repository Harvesting the Rain file Scootle file

7	Video and Audio Files - Youtube, Teachertube See more Audio at TeacherTube.com. Great resource - you just need to be aware that some of these sites will be blocked in schools. Grocery Wars Resource Plant Growth Resource

8	Animations - (goanimate) Great way to engage students - free and very easy to produce cartoons. Fun as well. Even for introductions. www.goanimate.com Goanimate No Dig Garden Resource No Dig Garden Course file
