This is one of my favorite resources to engage anyone and everyone in citizen science! The genius behind this platform is the connection between researchers and the rest of us. Researchers and organization submit their studies that they need help with to be highlighted on the platform.
Inspired Classroom has worked with CILC for 8+years! They are an amazing organization that connects museums, content providers, zoos, and organizations into the classroom via virtual field trips.

I am in LOVE with Google Earth Creation Tools! It allows learners of all ages to become creators and producers while actively learning and engaging with content—-and learning a bit of geography as well! Did you see our post on Google Earth Voyager Projects? This tool allows you and your students to create a similar project!
Are you familiar with Google Earth Voyager projects? I could spend hours checking out these voyages! The idea behind the Voyager projects are simple: Use Google Earth to explore a curated topic.
If you are teaching remotely, you may be looking for great resources that students can use semi-independently. Inspired Classroom has partnered with Google Earth Education to create: Stories Golden Eagles Tell with the Google Earth creation tool. This project consists of eight interactive ‘cards’. Each card has basic content, videos, and interactive Google Maps directing students to explore the natural history of Golden Eagles, habitat, migration studies, and issues facing Golden Eagles.
