"You know the drill—with the winter holiday celebrations come those familiar “Top Ten Lists.” Top ten films of 2016... In keeping up with tradition, we here at EdSurge like to throw our hat in the ring with a selection of the top ten most popular too."
EdSurge has been publishing their Top Ten S'Cool Tools for quite a few years, and you may find some new ones in this list. What makes this list a bit different is that these tools are chosen by the readers of EdSurge. Take a few minutes and see if you can fine one new tool to bring into your classroom.
Have you ever heard of a nurdle? Do you know how they are impacting the ocean and the potential consequences of them? This TED-Ed video shares the history of nurdles (they date back to the 1900s) and their impact on the ocean, and our lives.
This topic is one that many students would understand and they could develop a plan to educate their community about nurdles and what can be done. There are many resources provided in the Dig Deeper session that would allow students to explore and learn more. If you teach science, or are looking at issues that impact the globe in social studies, or are interested in teaching students about global issues that have a range of impacts this would be a great place to start.
