Schedule a Channel Islands Live Distance Learning Program

Important! Please Read Before Proceeding

If you did not receive a link to this page from park staff, STOP! This page is only for teachers who have been in communication with park staff about scheduling a virtual Channel Islands Live program. If you have not already confirmed a date and time with park staff for a Channel Islands Live distance learning program, please email [e-mail] with your interest in participating.

 

Interact with a park ranger in your classroom—virtually—for a 30–45 minute live distance learning program. A team of scuba divers plunge into the park's kelp forest and encounter fish, lobsters, sea stars, kelp and more. Programs are conducted via Zoom.

Day of your program

• Check that you have all of the technical requirements referred to above.
• Connect via the specific link at the specific time sent in your confirmation email.
• Communication with the diver: The diver will prompt the audience for a question or answer. Do not speak to the diver without this prompt. If there is more than one group participating, the diver will specify which group will answer. The diver must hold their breath when listening to a communication from the audience. When the diver asks for a communication from your group, please use a strong, clear voice and keep communications short. Practice this with your students prior to the program.

• If diving is not possible due to unforeseen circumstances, we will do our best to work with you to reschedule your program; however, this is not guaranteed.
