Trends today (Public Policy, Social Media, Digital Entertainment, Tech, etc) 

As our course draws to a close I hope we are starting to better see the sheer scope of ‘Outdoor Education’.  As we quickly and lightly scratched the surface of 10+ topics in the past few weeks I wanted to create a space for you to unpack and continue exploring any additional subject of your choosing.

Please choose one prompt below and answer in a text response.  200 Words Paper

· Explain the Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Media in relation to the field(s) of Outdoor Recreation/Education? (e.g. increased visitation/exposure v. increased incorrect usage of the space.) Optional- provide example photos as evidence to the pros and cons.

· Reflect on current representation of Outdoor Education and the Backcountry in film and television. Critically watch and analyze examples of film/series/etc and consider the impact they might have on their audiences. (Dawn Wall, Free Solo, 127 Hours, Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Meru, Other Nature Documentaries/Series, Naked and Afraid, Survivor Man, Man v. Nature) 

· Explore the rise of ‘Literacy’ centered education via Environmental Literacy, Ocean Literacy, Climate Literacy, Risk Literacy, etc.

· Explore the rise of technology use/application in outdoor spaces. Search for beneficial uses, and managerial challenges to the rise of technologies. Explore through the lens of the resource manager, tourist, etc. 

· Continue to unpack the inequities and barriers to outdoor education. Cite one or two sources. 

· The RASM risk model is not perfect. Find another Risk Management system/matrix and compare it to RASM (e.g. SPE modeling https://outsideluke.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/sar-tri-fold-risk-assessment.pdf(Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.))

· Outdoor Education comes close to penetrating the ‘traditional classroom’. Watch one or more videos from RSA Animate and link them to Outdoor Educator and/or the backcountry – https://www.thersa.org/discover/videos/rsa-animate

The Importance of Reflection

As we look back on 15 weeks of this course, I hope we remember that nearly all our early Experiential Education Champions (from the week 2 reading) identified Critical Reflection as a key element to Outdoor Education and broader Experiential Education. 

Reflection (also referred to as Debriefing) helps us create connections between seemingly disconnected experiences and across gaps in time. By purposely pausing, during/after an experience, we can reorient our current thoughts, knowledge and emotions to the beginning of the experience, to another situation in our lives, and/or toward the future. 

We can reflect on any element of the experience and gain some new understanding(s) that we can apply to future experiences.

Kolbs Reflective Cycle- (remove the narrators use of ‘teach

Please answer three guided reflection questions, and two questions that you create for yourself. 

*Reflections do not have to relate directly to subject material. Review your work from the entire course, and any reading that were meaningful to you and draw any conclusions that are readily available on a personal level. 

1. How did your understanding of Outdoor Education change from the first week of this course? How did your concept/perception of the Back Country change? (review your introduction from Week 1 if you need a reminder)

2. Reflecting on your academic career, would you like to see more Outdoor Education strategies practiced; in the elementary setting, in the secondary setting, in the collegiate setting? In what ways could Outdoor Educational practices be implemented at these levels? What might be the effects (positive or negative)?

3. Now What? How can you apply something that you learned to any of the following spheres-

1. Your social life

1. Family

2. Friends

2. Your Academic self

3. Your professional environment

4. Personally/Internally

4 and 5. Create two additional Reflection Questions and answer them.

You are expected to comment on this discussion topic based on your learnings from textbook, PowerPoint slides, and other resources such as articles from google scholar or library. Your comment must be minimum of 200 words. https: //youtu.be/- JKtPntB6is

NOTE: If any article have to be used, they must be from google scholar

First, identify a firm that would like consumers to change the attitudes of its consumers. Think about different attitude change strategies discussed in the book, then discuss strategies that could be used in an advertising or promotional campaign to bring about this change.

You should consider cost effectiveness and feasibility in your evaluation. For example, it is very difficult to change currently held beliefs. Therefore, if you suggest trying to do this, you must specify how and how realistic you expect this effort to be. Note that if you suggest heavy repetition of an advertising campaign, the firm or organization in question should have the resources to be able to afford this.

APA Format

You are free to choose any firm!
