Thanks to SETBC and "Growing Innovation Rural Education Change Network" for supporting our project!
With the announcement from Google that Tour Creator will no longer be available past June 2021, we have had to look for a new platform to share our 360 tours! We will be moving to THINGLINK in the 2020-21 school year! Check out the ThingLink video about ThingLink, below to see all the features of this awesome tool!

This is a document from Story Corps with lesson plans to support and teach students how to conduct an interview. The Story Corps app is on the "Chilcotin360 iPads and it is a great way to conduct an interview, as there is a number of already created questions built into the app. As well you can create and add your own questions.

Check out this podcast playlist that supports teaching students how to create a podcast. As part of our project, we are hoping to incorporate interviews from elders or community members into our tours. Podcasts are a great way to share these interviews on other platforms. Students and elders can contribute to the GOSynth we created for this project podcast by following the link(s) on our home page.
One approach we are considering using to help focus our intentions is to incorporate "The Walking Curriculum" by Gilliam Judson, into our schools. "The Walking Curriculum is an innovative interdisciplinary resource for educators K-12 who want to take student learning outside school walls. Walking Curriculum activities can be used in any context to develop students’ Sense of Place and to enrich their understanding of curricular topics. Based on principles of Imaginative Ecological Education, the 60 easy-to-use walking-focused activities in this resource are designed to engage students’ emotions and imaginations with their local natural and cultural communities, to broaden their awareness of the particularities of Place, and to evoke their sense of wonder in learning."
This curriculum has already been successfully implemented in our district, on the initiative Holly Zurak, a principal at Big Lake Elementary and now VP at Nesika Elementary in Williams Lake.
SD 36 (Surrey) has also developed a companion resource to accompany the Walking Curriculum with direct links to ideas tied to Indigenous perspective and First Peoples Principles Of Learning. Thanks to SD 36 for freely sharing this awesome resource for educators.
