using existing educational tools to support and enhance environmental education: utilizing ecoliterary texts, gamifying education, and integrating technology
abstract
raising the next generation of environmental stewards is essential to addressing growing
environmental degradation, and therefore, effective and accessible environmental education is
more important than ever. however, research shows that there are many barriers facing educators
when implementing environmental education in their practice. as such, this portfolio asked: how
can teachers use existing educational tools and techniques to improve and support environmental
education for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
, specifically through the use of children’s literature, technology
integration, and gamification. an extensive literature review uncovered many common themes in
answering this inquiry, including known barriers to educators, best practices in environmental
education, and how ecoliterary texts, technology, and gamification practices can be used to
enhance environmental education for all. a website, 3eguide.com, was developed for teachers to
help them in their quest to implement environmental education, and includes lesson plans, videos
and other resources, available to teachers who seek to better their practice and the world. the
following document includes an introduction, my personal positioning within the research, a
literature review, methods, and of course, links to the website.
