TOTCUS New Teachers Only Page
WEBSITE Navigation:
The Knowledge section is designed (still evolving) as a repository of climate change related information, sorted behind headings. If teachers find useful tools/information that would be of use to the students, please forward those links to Geoff. Wood (see contact details on the HOME PAGE).
The Sharing section is where the students presentations, along with any other presentations, newsletters and reports, are posted. The SYMPOSIUM Videos are also posted there.
The Action section wil continue to grow as different project groups progress to action their knowledge to benefit their school, community, and the Planet. Teachers are asked to take and share lots of photographs, reports that show what the students are doing to make a difference.
Collaborators are shown in this section so projects within regions and information of the schools and community is posted.
If you see any errors, please let us know.
