Hi Colin,
The idea of a weather bulletin is an excellent method of developing leadership capacity among students in school. I like the idea of this being modelled by perhaps the Green Schools Team or the 5th/6th class students. It would develop confidence among students as well as contributing to greater awareness of weather and its impact on our daily lives.
I really like the angle you are taking Diarmaid in using thought-provoking questions to enquire about how humans impact on forests and the environment. The use of technology and ICT to empower the students in their investigations and discovery provides autonomy for students while also ensuring a differentiated approach can be maintained at all times. Providing students with positive feedback about their research aligns nicely to the Wellbeing focus in schools at present also. I also feel the direct links to their own lives is an excellent method of garnering and maintaining personal interest for children. If they can identify with how their own lives/community is affected the learning develops new and lasting impressions on them. Thanks for sharing the great ideas.
