TPACK for virtual field trip--Hogle Zoo

The content that I will be using in my lesson will be animals that can be found in a zoo. This is a first grade level standard. My objective will be to help the students become more familiar with the animals that do not live in the wild in the area that we live in. I chose to do a virtual tour of this topic because I don't know if I will be able to take my students to the zoo and if I am unable to I would like them to be able to see photographs of the animals that they would be able to see there. The pedagogy I will be using will be exploring with the students let them think of all the different things that they can think of about the animals that they will be meeting and then fill them in on questions that they may have. I will be using Google Earth to help the students be able to see what the zoo is like from our classroom. I think that this would be fun for the students because even though they are still sitting in the classroom they get to interact with the animals and learn more about them.
