The following outline has been provided to keep the task as simple as possible.

Send a description of your project to the blog at the end of this website along with your contact information. Project descriptions are developed as PowerPoint presentations then uploaded to this website. Some are many pages so readers can scroll through the examples. The diversity and richness of the projects serve a number of goals:

PROTOCOLS: Protocols describe standardized ways of conducting studies. By following a protocol, students are collecting information in ways that are widely accepted. Description of a protocol should describe how the protocol supports a place-based project. Each protocol has been placed in light grey boxes.

The step by step descriptions of a protocol may be many pages long in complex cases. These are developed on Power Point which are then linked to this website. Each protocol should include contact information so others interested in a similar studies can get in touch. The example to the left has been provided to illustrate how a protocol may be described. You description may also include pictures and/or videos.

ACTIVITIES: Activities are those orientation activities, games, or challenges that help students gain insights into the "big picture" related to a place-based project. Your supporting activities should include one or two descriptive paragraphs. Each activity has been placed in light orange boxes. The following outline has been provided to keep the task as simple as possible.

There are many sources for activities that address "big ideas". Programs such as Project Wild and Project Wet, Challenges like "Destination Imagination and "Makerspaces" include many activities with this goal. These are developed on Power Point which are then linked to this website.
