One of our main assignments in EdTech is to create a free inquiry topic to explore, research, and create content about. I found the autonomy and freedom of this project surprising and so exciting! I have a huge interest in finding new ways to reduce the waste I accumulate in my everyday life and knew right away this is what I wanted to do my project on. In today’s media there is a very mixed opinion on climate change and sustainability, much of which can get a bit depressing if you read too deep. In my eyes, I want to create a lifestyle that is driven towards sustainable change wherever possible and kind to the earth at the same time. Since this topic can get fairly overwhelming, I am really looking forward to researching new zero-waste ideas and tips that I will be able to share with others in a way that everyone can understand and take part. Lastly, I cannot wait to look into zero-waste and sustainable classroom ideas! This is something that I have always wanted to incorporate into my future classrooms but have not yet put much time in to research further. Throughout this free inquiry project I am positive I will find a lot of useful information to share with colleagues, students, family, and friends, so that everyone feels like they have accessible resources to begin to make eco-friendly changes!
