Reading quiz from 7/18

American Camp Association. (2018, June 19). Ten tips and tricks for terrific teaching. American Camp Association. 

Our classrooms, our future. (2023). Rethinking Schools, 37(3), 4-5.

Kassouf, S. (2023). “We cannot create what we cannot imagine”: Helping students picture climate justice. Rethinking Schools, 37(3), 10-15. 

Match the quotes to the correct readings

“No matter how well you know the content, campers can’t learn in a chaotic environment. Taking the time to prepare will help lower your stress and anxiety, especially if you are new to instructing.” 

“I shared a definition of “struggle” with them as “a collective effort to achieve something.” Both questions invite students to identify with the courage and determination in these stories, to look beyond the suffering toward a brighter and achievable future.”

”All curriculum — how we organize our classrooms, how we treat our students, the content of our lessons — embeds a vision of the future.”

• STUDIOX
• Virtual Reality 

-Best options for water quality summer camp Hydro explore, wander, sea level rise and ocean rift 

• Artificial Intelligence 

-Useful examples for camp are Magic school, driffrit AI and conker A.

• Summer camp planning 

-We practiced co-planning which showed us the importance of co-teaching strategies and assigning roles ahead of time 

• Supply Gathering

-Readings mentioned importance of being fully prepared to be successful in a summer camp environment

Honoring Camper Identities

• Prioritizing knowledge-building in our camp, using things like concept maps, will allow students to learn from each other and build upon their skills in a safe environment.
• Students creating water filters from natural materials will also help to grow an appreciation for our community.

• Focusing on water quality in Sodus specifically allows us to create connections with campers and their own identities. 

• By gradually teaching skills that create connections between water quality and climate change students can build on their knowledge without feeling overwhelmed.

• This will be practiced by learning about access to clean drinking water and who is most affected by different pollution sources.
• Students will get new experiences such as using hip waders, VR headsets, whirl packs, water samplers, etc.

Technology used in lesson planning- VR headsets (Hydrous explore, Wanderer, sea level game are more relevant) and Pixton Comic Maker

Technology tried but not used for camp- VR Ocean Rift, AI image maker, map making software

AI (ChatGPT) was used to help brainstorm camp lessons

By giving students choice we are able to honor each student's identity, technology helps us to do this by allowing choice in apps used but also a creative outlet to express each student's perspective.
