2016
This
year’s Follow the Voyage program format will include a daily blog sent from the
Cadets on board the ship. The daily blog posts will relate the ships activities
as the T.S. Kennedy travels to Panama City, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, Crosses the
Equator, and returns through the Panama Canal to Bonaire, and Key West Florida.
With each daily blog the FTV Classroom will present topics, lessons, and
classroom activities that relate to STEM curriculum. With each cadet blog we
will provide matching STEM classroom activities that will bring real world
concepts to your students.
Participating
classrooms can log onto the Follow the Voyage website to track the ships
real-time position, try some of the related problem solving activities, and
learn topics similar to those being studied by the cadets on board.
The Follow
the Voyage program can be used by teachers as a large group classroom activity,
or for enrichment for individual students and small groups. Additionally,
students in after-school activity programs can Follow the Voyage. The daily
blogs and fun activities can be used as individual STEM topic lessons, or be
used as a STEM curriculum supplement. Individual students can Follow the Voyage
as an at home project, a family activity, or classroom project when daily
required work is completed.
If you
are interested in having your school students participate in the Follow the
Voyage Experience or would like a school visit from MMA Cadets, please email me
at memery@maritime.edu. I will send
you our free classroom maps and enough FTV logbooks for each of your students.
In the email please include your name, school name and address, the subject and
grade you teach, and the number of logbooks you would need.
