This year Expedition Class is running one very dirty and very big adventure- Coastwatchers. The aim is to scour every corner of Tasmania's coastline for marine debris. Along the way students of every age will be joining on the ground for an hour, a day or a week with survey forms, gloves and rubbish bags. Schools across Australia and the world can also join as we try to build a picture of what impact our junk is having on coastal and marine ecosystems. Get prepared to engage, interact and participate online and LIVE from July 16th. Before that keep informed via the e-newsletter for publication of the workbook and teacher's guide.
Up until last week, the most I'd ever won was seven bucks on a scratchie. Not to be sneezed at, but not the sort of news you ring up your 93 year old Granny about. Then Anyez from Penguin Books rang and said how about $50 000 big ones?
Download the information on a beach cleanup near you (Tasmanian only) and join the expedition in 2012.
Whichever corner and whatever mindset you find yourself in, this is an invitation to be part of the Expedition Class online learning community in 2012.
