Adolescents, the Wilderness, and Schools/ EduTopia

Adolescents, the Wilderness, and Schools/ EduTopia

This was an interesting article to read because it discusses how nature can help not only troubled youth but all youth.  Nature is calming and sometimes it is a nice change of pace to leave technology behind and just go out on an adventure in nature.  The article discusses how troubled youth or alternative education programs use nature but that it would benefit all adolescents.  It was refreshing to read the article and it would be nice if students could take advantage of nature.

  2. I enjoyed reading this article as well. I get to teach about the physical features of the Western Hemisphere and try to engage my students with pictures and videos of places they can visit and learn more about.
