Out of Eden Online Learning Community from Laura I.: I got to see this project in action and as quickly as I could signed my 21st CL classes up to follow Paul from Out of Eden on his 7 year trek to walk around the world. Classroom activities and global connections are being facilitated by National Geographic and promise to be wonderful! I can't wait. Check out these links for more information:
- Listen to this interview and read this BBC news article.
- Explore Paul's route so far by looking at the map of his journey on the Out of Eden Walk website. Browse some of the milestones to see what Paul has already seen and who he has met.
- Check out some of Paul’s journalism on the National Geographic website. You may want to browse Paul's dispatches by theme.
As soon as it is available, we recommend that you look at our educators’ guide located under the curriculum tab of our website. You can start preparing students for upcoming activities, if you choose.
