Nature Journaling in Action
Take a mid-week break and join us for a moment of nature journaling led by Tiffany Lodholz at High Marq Environmental Charter School. In the first half of this session, attendees will engage in a nature journaling exercise. After a brief transition to the second half of this session, educators participating in the grant-funded project "Using BEETLES Design Principles and Nature Journaling for High Quality Science Instruction" will learn more about WISELearn, Open Education Resources, and the project requirements. Non-project participants are welcome to stay on for the second half or leave during the transition period.
