Numerous green projects are led by schools and educators, yet at Bronx Group Sanction School in New York, fifth graders Amma Nkatiaah and Julia Malyzsko drove the natural activity. Nkatiaah says, "We needed our schoolmates to acknowledge the amount of waste they're delivering."
The students emailed Google asking them to bring the Expeditions Pioneer Program, a virtual reality program in which students use Android phones and Google Cardboard to go on virtual field trips, to their school and teach their peers the importance of being environmentally friendly. Their wish was granted: the Google for Education team and our partner Subaru brought Expeditions to Bronx Community Charter School, and fifth graders went on virtual field trips to the local sanitation facility and recycling plant to see where their waste goes. Students were immediately inspired to start identifying ways to cut back on their waste.
These schools are pushing the boundaries on how they use educational technology by adopting a paperless mindset and finding 21st century solutions to use less paper. Here are four ways to make your school more green:
- Replace paper-based resources with digital ones
- Choose technology with low-energy consumption and long battery life
- Encourage students to find new ways to introduce digital tools
- Start a classroom recycling program for paper and used electronics
- Students from different countries have much intelligent
