Abstract
The research question addressed in this project was, how do you incorporate technology to facilitate raw exploration of the natural world that reinforces inquiry-based learning in Environmental Education? The concept of the project was to create a framing guide to allow traditional and non-traditional educators to purposefully incorporate technology into a program with emphasis on environmental education standards. The primary focus of the format of the program is intended for K-12 lessons. The idea behind creating the program is to not simply add technology to a program, but to include the technology tool as a central piece with standards that reinforce the use of the technology. In addition to the use of technology, the design of the guide is to encourage educators to thoughtfully design a program that reinforces inquiry learning with the students by incorporating creation of essentially questions to use with the program design. These key elements are worked through a backward design type format that not only helps educators take a step by step process of development, but also includes evaluation tools to help journal and improve the teaching and learning experience.
