Magnificent ideas on using tech to learn about the environment

This was a great video with magnificent ideas! I'll be a first year teacher next year, and I would hope to be able to incorporate these methods in my class.

WOW!

I found the use of technology in this video to be wonderfully inspirational. The teacher made a wonderful point about that validity of science text books immediately after their purchase. These days, there are so many online resources that text books are almost obsolete. Keep up the great work kids! You guys are the youngest scientists I know:o)
