Overall, I really liked having access to this program each year. In the past, I was only able to access the program every few years. That said, stilling having this program and being able to implement some of the ideas outside the program remains a challenge with the online format. While it is easy to say go find local places to visit, the more contact information that can be directly provided to us will help in getting more local expertise injected into the program. I have found this process fantastic and look forward to using this model for years to come. I am excited about the opportunity that was provided and the ability to access these resources!
I really enjoyed running this program with the two Grade 5/6 classes at our school. This has been great to hear what students think the future is going to look like. I really liked the resources that were included in the extension buffet.
I have provided feedback on each lesson individually.
Overall I would run this program again in my class as I was able to fit it into my schedule. I would like to have access to field trips and presenters as well as the content that was provided.
I really enjoyed this project. Having done the Beyond Recycling program in the past I was familiar with the lesson set up and was more confident to dive in. I really enjoyed all of the video introductions, even if the intro was repetitive. It was amazing to have so many different extension activities so each teacher could spend as much or little time on each topic as was required for their particular group of students. Minecraft for Education’s resources on Sustainable Cities paired perfectly with the Beyond Recycling lessons and the two resources used together resulted in an engaging, fun project where students were able to engage with many different concepts from the science and social studies curricula.
The energy lesson prompted much discussion about which one was “the best”, and the students soon learned the limitations and benefits to each one in different areas of the province / country. I included a journal activity asking them what they would do without power for one day…… then extended that to one week. They really had to think. Showed the BCHydro Ridiculous Video and Bill Nye about potential and Kinetic energy. Energy sources were added to the prep for their city.
