=Here is a place to share ideas on learning with children about the environment.=

This is an American [] vision of what it means to work towards ecoliteracy. In this wikispace we aim to examine how Australian Curriculum materials can be adapted to promote developing understanding of local ecosystems.

How do we work with children to learn and further develop a Bioregional Ecological Vocabulary (BEV)?

What simple and practical ideas can we share about involving children in activities that engage them with their local ecology study area (LESA)?

What are the most effective ways of sharing our developing understandings with others?

How is local knowledge empowered by information technology?

What are some ways to integrate children into their school playground in a way that they are open and receptive to other forms of life that share this space with them?

Through creating spaces for nature to thrive can we empower children to see themselves as positive creative caring custodians?

Are there activities that can be interactive learning experiences that form part of the schools playspace and are a natural extension of the classroom?

What interactive lesson/activities can be developed to stimulate an awareness and ongoing respect for nature?

How does one initially instill an insight into nature that may and hopefully will become, one day, a feeling of deep ecology?
