Here I will begin to draft my research question.
Ultimately I am concerned that learning about sustainability in a virtual learning environment will remove the student’s connection to earth, to the human side of environmental engagement. That it may cause the student to “disconnect” from the reality of engaging with the environment. That it will in fact distance his understanding of what it means to practice sustainability.
How do we keep the student grounded when he is learning through technology?
How do we keep the student connected to “place” and “people” when he is learning through technology?
Can virtual learning tools cause transformative learning? I hope to better understand this question by taking a look at the field of sustainable education, which is hands-on, place-based, requires the student to engage in tangible activities and aims to affect the way the student practices everyday living for the benefit of the environment.
