Extractions: Environmental Education Programs Environmental education is a vital component of EASI programs because we recognize the urgency of passing on a positive environmental heriatage to future generations. In co-operation with host organization such as Retired Senior Volunteer Programs, senior centers, religious organizations, local governments, and others. Senior volunteers work in their own communities to share their environmental ethics with children. They work in local public school programs in hands-on activities that teach resource conservation and the need for clean air and water. They serve as docents and guides, and help develop environmental programs at museums, nature centers zoos and libraries as well as classrooms. They help urban children learn the delight of growing things in school or community gardens. In Alabama, a local SEC takes youngsters in kindergarten through second grade on 20 environmental field trips a year, 125 children per trip, as a part of a project to preserve the natural beauty of their rural mountain lake community. SEC volunteers in Texas guide elementary school students daily through a program at the Elm Fork Education Center that offers hands-on activities in aquatics, archeology, astronomy and natural science. All across the country, seniors mentor young people in activities such as stream monitoring, wildlife mapping and groundwater protection. Volunteers often become the primary source of information for a community about a specific environmental project or concern. Training is provided so that all volunteers feel confident answering questions about environmental concerns, demonstrating specific environmental education tools, and speaking in classrooms or community public settings. In their outreach to thousands of young people, senior volunteers teach and inspire new generations to become good stewards of the environment.
Extractions: On Creating a Disciplined and Ethical Practice of Software Archeology By Norman L. Kerth nkerth@acm.org My dictionary defined the word archeology as The systematic recovery and study of material evidence, such as graves, buildings, tools, and pottery, remaining from past human life and culture. This definition suggest that there is more to the concept of software archeology than just how quickly a developer might understand a piece of a large system that they have to repair. I agree that the rapid understanding of a large software system has immediate commercial application. With that said, I stress the rapid understanding for the purpose of modification is only a small part of the total riches that can come from the careful study of an ancient monument of software antiquity. For example, in Using Patterns to Improve Our Architectural Vision , the authors suggest software archeology is the foundation for a new approach to software architecture, built upon the study of the masterpieces of our field's great software architects. They urge the inventions and discoveries made by the early pioneers in our field be captured in pattern language form for the wide distribution and appreciation of modern day practitioners. But software archeology is not just concerned just with long-lived architecture. My dictionary's definition of archeology also directs us to the tools, languages and libraries used; bug reports; configuration management activities; schedule and budget histories; and so forth, with the goal of not just understanding the artifact, but through the artifact we come to understand human life and culture. In such a study we might discover the value of development practices, procedures, methodologies, and the like. We might see the rise and fall of certain disciplines. Such studies can lead to a more mature and reasoned modern day practice of our profession. We might also learn to shy away from practices that show a history of long term trouble.

An Archeology Of The Classroom we hold dear to the fiction that we teach and learn In the course of our archeology,we will find the classroom itself, where the genred activities of teaching http://spot.colorado.edu/~norgaard/research/classroom.archeology.091500.htm
Extractions: Rolf Norgaard University of Colorado at Boulder An Archeology of the Classroom When we enter the door of our classroom on the first day of the new term, we invoke a fiction that we all maintain to one degree or another: the fiction of the fresh classroom. Through that door lies a new territory and a new timea virgin opportunity for teaching and learning, a pedagogical frontier only just now settled by the students with whom we will share this new space for the coming weeks. Our specific metaphors for describing this space surely vary. For some, the classroom may become the garden we will plant, water, weed, and harvest. For others the classroom becomes the space where we will undertake a journey of some kind. Some will see this space as an unencumbered arena for simulating workplace or disciplinary activities. Still others may see the classroom as a proto-public space, the agora located at the second left down the classroom building hallway. Surely many of us will slip, if only unconsciously, into more traditional metaphors of the container for the contained, the classroom as that vessel for our presumed pedagogical wisdom. But whatever the metaphors, they share this much in common: part of us likes to think, or perhaps needs to think, of classroom space as new.
Cape Outdoor Discovery / Teacher Workshops to the grade level that they teach. workshop included classroom activities, newinformation including paleontology, geology, archeology, engineering, botany http://www.capeoutdoor.org/teach.htm
Extractions: Beachcomber Biology Can You Dig It was the title of our soil science workshop series offered as part of the MITS Summer Institute at Camp Clark in July. Teachers were grouped according to the grade level that they teach. Classes were then geared for those particular grades, K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. The intensive workshop included classroom activities, new information, and lots of handouts on topics ranging from basic soil science to cross-over sciences (i.e. other fields of science that utilize soil science, including paleontology, geology, archeology, engineering, botany, agriculture, and chemistry). The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for Barnstable County, Hyannis, brought their soil tunnel to the class for the teachers to see. Children who were attending the Old Colony YMCA Summer Day Camp program at the same time as the soil science class got to go through the tunnel too. One of the more popular activities with the school teachers was archeology and soil. A simulated archeology site which included background materials, reference maps, soil samples, and reproduced archeological artifacts were given to each teacher. They were then asked to write a detailed description of the soil and the artifacts, along with an interpretation of the site. Another popular activity was recipe for soil. Students write a list of ingredients for soil on a recipe card and then actually make their recipe using a small plastic bag. Ingredients chosen (in varying amounts) included water, sand, gravel, leaves, twigs, insects, worms, and of course, air. The only thing we could not add was time! At the conclusion of the workshop, one school teacher said, I never knew there was so much going on in the dirt.

Extractions: The earliest written description of archaeological sites in the state was made by the renowned Spanish explorers and Catholic fathers Dominguez and Escalante, who traveled north from New Mexico into western Colorado and then west into the Uinta Basin of northern Utah in 1776. Their detailed journal contains priceless descriptions of the countryside and its inhabitants and mentions ruins in the Uinta Basin near the confluence of the Uinta and Duchesne rivers. Little archaeological information was recorded during the succeeding seventy-five years.
