We’ve got a special webinar for those of you looking for great new digital tools to use in your summer camps and multiday group engagements!  This will also be of interest to anyone considering ways to incorporate student-created video into your programs.

Our friends at NASA Spotlites Video Design Challenge  and at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve would like to tell you what they did last summer – to collaborate, that is!  By bringing together NASA Spotlites’ tools for student-created video that challenge science misconceptions, and the place-based environmental stories unique to the GTM Research Reserve, they created a program where students honed their critical thinking skills and built up their technological and science literacy.  Join them in this webinar, hosted by Earth to Sky, to see their planning and implementation tips and get ideas on how you can use these tools at your own site.
