Students have decided on how they want to share their knowledge this year and will be creating two iTunes U courses, Health EDU and Basics of Anatomy.
The first course, Health EDU, will attempt to educate society on how to improve health habits. Each week, participants will be given a challenge, such as altering their diet to exclude certain components like soda, HFCS, or artificial sweeteners. Some challenges will be more fitness based, such as try to add 10-15 minutes on your current walk or run, actually start exercising, or try a new type of workout. Other challenges will be focused on mental health and how to reduce stress. Each challenge will include student created educational material (iBooks, tutorial videos, etc.) that help convince the course subscribers and participants of the WHY behind the challenge.
The second course, the Basics of Anatomy, is being developed for the Oceans Project, and really anyone who wants to subscribe and learn about the body. The Oceans Project foundation is raising money to give iPads to students in developing nations to improve global education. My students will be creating a course to teach children in these developing nations exactly how their body works. So far, we have the following sections set up: how things work, the limitations of the body, grossology, and try this at home. We are still brainstorming ideas of components to add to this course.
With both courses, students are learning how to maintain personal health and then taking that information and sharing it with others to try to improve the overall wellness of our society.
Courses should be up and ready for release sometime in December...
We are still working on the course names and art...suggestions are appreciated! :)
I love the service learning component of this - students will gain so much empathy for those around the world by participating in this lesson.
