Two Learning Goals for my online course about lightning safety:
1. Students will be able to describe specific actions that can decrease their chances of being struck by lightning.
2. Students will describe when to use "lightning position," describe what it is, and describe why it decreases their chances of exposure to different types of lightning strikes.
Teaching Methods: I want the students to read text about lightening (some interesting facts as well as practical information) and view photos of different geographical areas, in order to learn what part geography plays in lightning safety. I want to show photos of several different locations (i.e. a person on top of a mountain, a boat out on the water, a person in a cave, a person in a small ravine, a person out in the open, and a person in a forest) and have them evaluate the safeness of each location, and why they think it is safe or unsafe in a lightning storm. Once they've done that, then they can move on to see how their answers stack up and why. Then I will also have a video tutorial that demonstrates "lightning position" and describes why this position increases their likeliness of survival if caught out in a lightning storm. At the end of the course, students can answer a short quiz to test their knowledge, in order to see if the learning goals were met.
