GreenLearning Canada Announces COOL 2.0!

GreenLearning Canada has just launched COOL 2.0, a powerful new online community for teaching and learning about climate change. COOL 2.0 gives you access to hundreds of teaching resources on energy, the environment, and sustainability. Look for resources created by teachers, GreenLearning Canada, and many of its partner ENGOs — among them, UNICEF Canada, Sustainability Frontiers,Biosphere, Wild BC, and Earth Day Canada. COOL 2.0 also provides you with a robust web 2.0 platform, powered by TiGed, for customizing resources, creating assignments, and connecting with colleagues.

What can you do at cool.greenlearning.ca?

• Access lesson plans and activities, videos, research and data, and collaborative projects in the Education Database.
• Search for teaching resources by keyword, grade level, subject, province, language, and more.
• Use Teacher Space to tailor COOL 2.0 resources for your students.
• Create assignments that integrate blogs, mapping, online discussions, and media galleries.
• Exchange ideas in the Teacher Forum, meet colleagues, and team up to collaborate on class projects.

Anyone can access the resources in the COOL 2.0 Education Database. To access the COOL 2.0 Teacher Space, log in with your GreenLearning or TIGed ID and password, or register on the COOL 2.0 homepage. Like all GreenLearning programs, COOL 2.0 is free to teachers. Discover the best in climate change education at cool.greenlearning.ca!
