  •  
    "Seasonal change is all around us. We see it in the length of a day, in the appearance of a flower, in the flight of a butterfly. Journey North engages students and citizen scientists around the globe in tracking wildlife migration and seasonal change. Participants share field observations across the northern hemisphere, exploring the interrelated aspects of seasonal change. Sunlight and the Seasons Discovering how sunlight drives seasonal change by tracking changes in day length, or photoperiod. Plants and the Seasons Exploring plant growth in tulip test gardens, running an experiment to track the arrival of spring. Seasonal Migrations Following animal migrations. Observing, reporting, and tracking travels across the hemisphere. Journey North is a free, Internet-based program presented by Annenberg Learner, a division of the Annenberg Foundation."

Sensory Learning NZ - 2 views

  •  
    "The Sensory Learning NZ website is the home of the Sensory Learning Toolkit (SLTNZ). The SLTNZ has been designed primarily for practitioners of students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). We have researched, tried and tested tools to gather data and approaches to learning that are suitable and relevant to this group of students. Tools that show the very small and often subtle changes in student behaviour that show learning and how they learn. At the heart of the SLTNZ is the belief that 'everyone is learner', starting from a base of 'presuming competence' and celebrating achievements. The overriding framework and approach however can be used with higher functioning students of all ages. The tools used to gather data will change but the process will be the same."
