SES Trail Cam Team

Simpson Elementary School, Simpson County
Sam Northern, STLP Coach

The STLP team at Simpson Elementary School consists of 3rd grade students. The team is managing a trail cam on school property. The trail cam was acquired through a donation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. The project used a trail camera to capture media of wild animals behind the school building. We collected and curated the footage in Google Drive. We created videos of the different animals seen as well as worksheets and games. Videos and other information about animals, habitats, and conservation were uploaded to a Google Site. The more people know about animal habitats, the more likely they are to care about protecting their homes.

TCHS MC is using the Minecraft server to connect kids and teachers in a fun and engaging 3-dimensional virtual atmosphere wherever they are. With this technology, student attendance will be improved for future NTI virtual settings.
