The marine environment is unique and requires technologies that can use sound to gather information since there is little light underwater. The sea-floor is characterized using underwater sound and acoustical systems. Current technological innovations are allowing scientists to further understand and apply information about animal locations and habitat. Remote sensing and exploration with underwater vehicles allows scientists to map and understand the sea floor. Similar technologies also aid in animal tracking, a method used within science and commercial industries. The teacher will use inquiry-based learning techniques to teach students the importance of habitat mapping and animal tracking.

- Abstract:
-
The following lesson is an introduction to the ideas and implications of animal tracking. Animal tracking is a useful method used within science and commercial industries. For instance, when planning the development coastal areas, animal presence and movement should be taken into consideration. The lesson engages students in an activity to monitor animal foraging behavior on a spatial scale. The students will break into groups and track each other's movements as they move through a pre-determined course. The results will be recorded both individually and collaboratively in an attempt to understand animal movement regarding foraging behavior. Students will also engage in a creative design activity, focusing on how they would design a tag for a marine animal of their choice. In conclusion, instructors will query the class on data interpretation and how spatial information is important in relation to commercial, conservation, and scientific research decisions.

Syntax Untangler is an online activity that asks the learner to visually mark up a short primary text in any language, in order to improve small-scale reading skills. Any instructor can easily create and publish their own Syntax Untangler content (go to the Instructor Tools link). Players get instant feedback about whether they found the right answer(s). Syntax Untangler is particularly designed for training language learners to recognize and parse linguistic features.

This resource is a playlist containing pointers to many other resources. It is a presentation and discussion exploring the following questions: What is Web 2.0, and what are some examples? What are folksonomies and what's so special about tagging? What kinds of disabilities are reinforced, and what new disabilities emerge with the adoption of the Web 2.0 philosophy? What is the role of UDL and what is the niche for CAST in Web 2.0?

We will be using technology to support nearly all of our activities. This site is built to provide us with modern tools to facilitate communication and collaboration. Each person in this class will have a blog, have the ability to collaboratively author content in this space, and will be asked to contribute to the overall content basis on the course itself. The course is about the emergence of the read/write web and the space not only supports that idea but promotes it. Every piece of content at the Course Site can be commented on and quickly changed. Part of our collective responsibility is to leave behind evidence of our activities here so the world can see.
