The contention that nature and technology are incompatible has offered me great opportunity over the years. It is fun to play on stereotypes not be demonstrating they are over stated but by demonstrating they have it backwards. I never thought you should learn about nature by heading inside to read on your computer, but rather take your camera, phone, and probes outside to make sense of experiences that were previously pleasant but not necessarily informative.
Anyway, The National Wildlife Federation (Ranger Rick) offer a resource focused on Connecting Kids to Nature. The message in this resource is mixed by my approach, but educators may find it valuable in their classrooms.
