Today is Earth Day, and as if the Earth knew, we're being treated to an absolutely beautiful Day here in New York. One might think that I'd be less than enthused about being inside on a beautiful Day, but I'm totally fine with it. Really. It is because I, along with six other colleagues or so (the number shifts depending on who's in town) sit in a room surrounded by four desk-to-ceiling windows. Every Day that the sun shines, we experience a greenhouse-like effect in our own microcosm. Even in the dead of winter, you can walk into our "tank" and find us wearing tank tops and sunglasses (and it's not just because we're cool). If I knew more about the science behind climate change and global warming I could probably make some sort of analogy – like we're Antarctica under the ozone hole, and the big room is a country with a big carbon footprint – but I'm not sure if that analogy holds. In the names of "science" and "work," I've spent most of this beautiful Day educating myself about the planet by watching the Earth Day is Everyday channel on Joost. So far, I've learned a lot about Earth Day, and I've "traveled" to different climates and all corners of the world. I've also picked up some new tips on how to live a greener life. Interestingly, unplugging your appliances (i.e. computers, monitors, docking stations, etc.) is one of the ways you can reduce your carbon footprint, so I might just go ahead and unplug right now. Not becau ...

Links: http://www.strategies.org/EarthDayPhoto Transcript: Welcome to The Technology Teacher podcast, episode number 16. I'm your host, Ron Kroetz, technology education teacher at El Cerrito Middle School in Corona, CA. I got an interesting email the other Day from NASA Education.  It read, in part, "The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies is sponsoring an Earth Day photo contest for middle school students. Interested students are asked to photograph something that is changing in their local environment. They are to take the photo between Tuesday, April 22, and Tuesday, April 29. The change could be occurring in the student's backyard, outside the student's school, in a local park or even off in the distance. Participants must research and write an explanation of the change documented in the photograph. The contest is open to all U.S. students in grades 5-8. Entries must be received by e-mail or postmarked by May 9, 2008 ."   For more information about the contest and how teachers can use it in the classroom, visit strategies dot org slash Earth Day photo or visit tech teacher live dot com. Do you have a cool website or piece of software we should talk about?  Drop me an email at ron.techteacher@gmail.com and let me know. As always, you can visit our site at tech teacher live dot com, where I've added a few links to other resources from the Free Tech 4 Teache ...

First-graders in Brownie Troop #21544 from Glendale Elementary hosted a Family Earth Day clean up around their school and Community Park on April 26. They planted five shrubs around the entrance of the school in honor of Earth Day and braved the cold weather conditions to collect 10 bags of trash. The scouts used some of the money they earned from their cookie sales earlier in the year to purchase the shrubs. Pictured here are: (first row) Ella Masser, Nadia Hanson, Jane Brunell, Kelsey Viger, Alexandria Johnson, (second row) Katelyn Vasquez, Peyton Vasquez, Principal Pam Becker, Julia Androff and Jordyn Underkoffler.

Tuesday, April 22 is Earth Day, and we thought that a couple special posts would be appropriate on this date.  Building has an enormous impact on the Earth, and green building offers the opportunity to lessen or eliminate many of those effects. Today, in a series of articles titled Elements of Building, we take a look at how Water , Energy and Materials each factor in to building operation and building design. In addition to discussing green building, let us also take this opportunity to remind you of all the other Green Options blogs in the network and invite you to take a minute to look at some of the other writers and their Earth Day thoughts: Green Options PlanetSave Sustainablog EcoWorldly EcoLocalizer Red, Green, and Blue EcoScraps Crafting a Green World Eat.
