Abstract

The purpose of this survey research is to find out the effect of the use of technological tools in the teaching of lessons in Environmental Education in the formal classroom. This study will use the example of Project Noah and will examine the learning outcomes of students by collecting quantitative data and assessing attitudes towards nature and the environment using open ended questions. Project Noah is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere. Project Noah seeks to go beyond the ordinary structure where web administrators provide all data and information to the crowdsourcing model where users are responsible for data that is provided.
