IAN delivers environmental science films through SchoolTube
The UMCES channel on SchoolTube, sponsored by IAN, will bring videos about environmental issues to middle- and high-school students. Through these videos, students and teachers can follow scientists as they go in the field, explore unique ecosystems, and hear from people impacted by environmental issues. Unlike other video-sharing websites, SchoolTube is trusted by educators and allowed to stream in classrooms across the country. Thus, IAN and UMCES will be able to share its research with a new audience and inspire the next generation of environmental scientists. Stay tuned … our channel is growing.2 new videos are available on IAN's YouTube channel!
- Check out a short documentary about this year's Chesapeake Bay Report Card. Learn about how our Bay is doing, and how IAN goes about measuring and communicating its health.
- IAN also released 'Developing a Report Card for Mongolia's Tuul River basin', a documentary created by IAN student, Dylan Tailie. This video highlights the difficulties faced in Mongolia's Tuul River Basin, as the inexorable spread of industry begins to impact a landscape steeped in tradition and history. The film also shares some techniques employed during the IAN Report Card process, honing in on our efforts to bring stakeholders, scientists, policy makers and members of the general public to the table.
