Dear
Coral-list,
Would you please add
the following announcement to the list. Thanks.
I, along with Richard Plate, Siri
Jacob, Jan Lupton and the School for Fields Studies’ Center for Marine Resource
Studies in South Caicos have developed a marine education series called
‘Learning from the Sea’ that consists of a workbook and an Interactive DVD that
will be distributed and made avaliable, free of charge to all the schools in the Turks and Caicos Islands in an
effort to incorporate more marine education and awareness into the school curriculum. This specifically looks at marine themed math and reading exercises
that can be used by teachers. As part of the learning from the sea series we
have created a website called www.learningfromthesea.com that
contains many features of the DVD as well as being regularly updated with new
exercises and a blog discussing marine education subjects. Some of the other
features of the website include videos created by Richard Plate, interactive
reef SCUBA dives and mangrove snorkels, news and links and sources to other
marine education material. All material on the website, the workbook and the interactive DVD has been made avaliable free of charge to anyone who feels it will be of use.
Thanks,
William
