Science Coordinator
Andes International School
For the last 12 years, I have been a passionate science educator. I have devoted my studies and expertise to environmental and sustainability education, having worked from kindergarten to college teaching Environmental Ed, Biology, and Chemistry. I believe in encouraging students to be confident in themselves by helping them see the inner scientist in all of us. I think students have the power to come together to generate solutions for our everyday problems if they are given the opportunity. I will continue to work towards bringing STEM and entrepreneurial training to the classrooms and hopefully inspire more students, especially girls, to become tomorrow's leaders.

Session description

Learn about a lesson that let students travel the globe in their geography class. At each stop, they learn about a continent's characteristics and report on them digitally using essays, biography, podcasts, comics, videos and news articles. All this information is then made available on an interactive map built with Nearpod.

Purpose & objective

Students traveled around the globe in their Geography class. At each stop, they learned about a continent’s different characteristics and report it digitally using different formats such as essays, biography, podcast, comics, videos, and news articles. All this information is available in an interactive map built with the Nearpod app.
As the school year passed, students add an item to the map so they complete their tour around the world.
This project includes:
Technology: Interactive image with content for each continent with the help of the app Nearpod.
Geography: Content Research, essay, biography, podcast, comics, videos, news articles
When the design is finished it will be uploaded online in order for anyone will be able to use it.
