“Rolling on the Tundra, A Polar Bear Adventure” is a related exhibit on the Apple Learning Interchange that has interdisciplinary curriculum and resources for the study of polar bears, global warming, etc.

The Jane Goodall Institute and its education outreach for youth, “Roots & Shoots,” is also involved with this trip and will be hosting some of my videoconferences and curricular content. Dana Lyons, musician, is composing original music to raise awareness about polar bears, and he will be conducting a webcast from the tundra in mid-November.

Polar bears are a threatened species. Their habitat is changing quickly, and we must all work together to educate our youth, raise awareness, and promote actions that will help save the polar bears and their environment. What is happening to polar bears is symptomatic of problems being experienced in other parts of the world related to climate change. Animals are being affected in many ways globally, and we can educate youth and encourage them to become active in being good stewards of our planet, its resources, and all of its inhabitants.

Join us in the live events that will be taking place the first week of November. And watch for other ways in which you can be involved in the activities we are conducting. We will also be announcing ways that you and your students can create content that can help make a difference for the polar bears of Canada! And, we will be sharing curriculum and ideas for global ecology that will benefit our planet and all of its inhabitants.

You can find updated information and join the webinar by visiting the “Rolling on the Tundra” exhibit on the Apple Learning Interchange.
