Integrating technology with nature offers unique opportunities for gifted children to explore and learn. Doing so can help us achieve curricular depth and promote inquiry, collaboration, and self-regulation. In this hands-on session, we explore a variety of nature-tech tools (apps, tablets, digital photography, coding, augmented reality, community science) as well as standards-supported ideas and strategies for implementation in your K-5 setting.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore how specific outdoor learning and technology integration can engage gifted students in critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem-solving strategies, as well as promote inquiry.
  • Discuss ways to integrate a variety of technologies so that gifted students can go deeper into academic content, express themselves creatively, collaborate with others locally and globally, and self-regulate in nature.
  • Build familiarity with digital tools through hands-on practice so participants feel comfortable accessing and using them as learning options with GT learners.
