Abstract
With global environmental issues becoming critical, we need to initiate significant societal innovations to ensure sustainable practices for the global good. Shifting to a place-based inquiry model of education best supports concepts of sustainability. Our digital landscape provides a unique opportunity to engage and amplify voices for sustainability. The aim of this paper is to research place-based learning and digital storytelling, with the purpose of ensuring student voice is honoured and amplified. This project includes a resource website for educators that reflects pedagogical and educational practices as they relate to integrating place-based learning and technology.
