[IDZ] I Dig Zambia Wrap-up: teaching about Africa and science using virtual worlds
Last Friday was the conclusion of the "I Dig Zambia" virtual summer camp, co-organized by the Field Museum and Global Kids. I Dig Zambia was a two-week camp that brought together 19 teens from Chicago and New York to learn...
Chicago Reflections on I Dig Zambia!
I came on as the Chicago facilitator for I Dig Zambia after hearing so much about the I Dig Tanzania program. When I first heard about I Dig Tanzania I was elated. Kids that get to virtually dig for fossils...
Reflection of the IDZ Program
When starting I Dig Zambia (IDZ), I had no idea what to expect. I did not feel confident in my ability to facilitate on a virtual world to which I had only just been introduced. However, when students arrived, I...
[staff] Do virtual worlds support or hold back marginalized youth?
Today was the last day of the "I Dig Zambia" virtual summer camp, and I have been reflecting on how our Global Kids teens participated in the program. For the past two weeks, eleven of our Global Kids teens have...
[IDZ/Teen] July 16th
I never really knew much about fossils. I was able to get familiar with some of the animal names and the types of animals there are. Also, I learned about how the Field Museum prepares fossils. I never knew that...
[IDZ Teen] July 16tth
Since I have always been extremely interested the field of paleontology, I have obtained a great deal of knowledge of the subject prior to my participation here in “I Dig Zambia” this summer, but I did learn more exclusively about...
[IDZ/Teen] July 16th
I learned that fossils are useless without their information, that it doesn't matter if a fossil breaks because you can just glue it back together, and that it takes a very long time to prepare fossils and remove the rock...
[IDZ/Teen] July 16th
I learned that scientists don't completely take out their fossils in the field. I learned that it takes hundreds, if not thousands of hours to prepare a fossil. The final thing I learned was about the culture of the Zambian...
[IDZ/Teen] July 16th
Three things I learned about paleontology: the process it takes to uncover a fossil, where to look for a fossil, how to piece together a fossil. My favorite experience in IDZ was the plays; I will never forget how funny...
[IDZ/Teen] July 16th
Three things I learned about was the amount of work it took to go on a field dig. Which is a ridiculous amount of preparation with all the food and supplies. I learned where you should look to find fossils,...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 9
These two weeks have been a blast for me. I learned how paleontologist dig up fossils, how long it takes, and the amount of dedication it takes to be a paleontologist. Depending on their area of study, they would attend...
[IDZ/Teen} Last Blog Entry
The first thing I learned was what paleontology means, the second thing I learned was what it means to be eco-friendly to your environment, and the struggles that the kids have to go through with AIDS/HIV in Africa. My favorite...
[IDZ Teen] July 16tth
In IDZ I learned what a tetropod is (a four legged animal), the evolutionary step between aquatic and land animals, and many things on Zambian culture. In IDZ I enjoyed learning about paleontology, Zambian culture, and working with the people...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 9.......:]....;[
I learned that paleontology is the study of fossils and bones of dinos, second I learned that dino bones are very hard to recover when they are covered in rock, and that if volcanic ash covers the animal it will...
[IDZ Teen] July 16tth
I learned how fossils are found, how fossils are cleaned, and how to keep the fossils safe. Going to the museum and watching the videos were my favorite parts, because the museum trip helped me learned a lot of new...
[IDZ/Teen] Very Last Day of Blogging for I Dig Zambia
Throughout I Dig Zambia I've been learning all about Paleontology and from learning about these scientists I've learned that, there always isn't a possible chance that a fossil will be dug out in one piece. However this ties in when...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 9
Three things I learned about paleontology that I didn't know about before are that: that the same fossils can be found on several different continents because of the the continents split of millions of years ago leaving animals spread up...
[IDZ/Teens] Day 9
Paleontology is the study of fossils and the process of digging up fossils. in the past week i learned that paleontology requires a lot of hard work, during fossil digging there is a method used to get a fossil, and...
[IDZ/Teen] PARTY
YAY!! Last blog!! Not that I don't like blogging, it's just that it becomes more of a chore than something fun to do after. I learned a lot about Zambia and paleontology. I learned how fragile fossils are and how...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 9
Three things that I learned about paleontology are the study of prehistoric life, including organisms' evolution. Paleontology is related to biology and geology, it focuses on the record of past life in fossils, and its main source of evidence, which...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 9- Wrap Up
I have learned many new things about Paleontology. The most interesting thing that I learned was the process of preparing. Before, when I walked into a museum, I thought that the bones were extracted as complete artifacts. Now I know...
[IDZ Teen] Day 9
Three things I learned about paleontology that I didn't before is one that they look for other fossils other than dinosaurs. First I thought that dinosaurs were the only thing paleontologists looked for. It was an unintelligent thought by me....
[IDZ/Teen] July 16th
The three things I learned about paleontology were where to look and find fossils, how to describe a fossil based on the bone structure and what I already know from this course how to put fossils together. My favorite experience...
[IDZ Teen] July 15th
As apposed to the previous situations in second life, where had to use group problem solving, today we mainly used individual problem solving. This was easier in the aspect that we did not encounter communication errors. It was harder in...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
Problem solving as a grouped proved to be quick at times and slow. If we couldn't find out were a fossil was supposed to go, then having many minds thinking of the problem would help us figure it out faster,...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
In Second Life, I think that individual problem solving was more effective. But for real life problem solving, such as when we were putting our plays together, I think working as a group is the best way to go. I...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
Problem solving as a group is very different. When you work by yourself you don't really have to worry about anyone else you can just go do it. When working in a group you need to communicate. One type of...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
The difference between working alone to solve a problem and working with a group is that you have to communicate with everyone in your group. If there was a group chat available on SL it would've been a whole lot...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
As a group it was harder to put together the fossils. Since everyone was trying to move them at once the over all end product did not come out too well in some cases. Once some of the groups designated...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
I think the problem solving thing is just like something you have to deal with in school and at 1st it was kinda hard to solve things that you didn't know anything about. I think the difference between solving problems...
[IDZ/Teen] July 15th
Working with a group is different in the way that it allows more physical and mental help to be done. We used individual problem solving when we worked in Second Life, by typing up what we knew about our fossil....
[IDZ/Teen] Day 8
Today we started making our exhibit for our fossils. Problem solving was harder on my own because I only have one way of looking at things. When my team joined it made things much easier. Today I researched the Adaptation...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 8
Yes, I have used many types of problem solving. the problem solving as a group was different than individual by helping us getting done quickly, when you work as a group, problems are easy to get done. It become less...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 8
With the group, there was a variety of ideas and it was easy for the group to bring up points. But an individual like me had to brainstorm and research alone which made it more stressful and take a longer...
[IDZ/Teen] Blog #7 (Day 8)
During the entire process of digging up fossils there were many different times the green team had to problem solving. Like when we were digging we had two people to each fossil one brushed and the other watered that way...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 8
As a group, problem solving involves every individuals point of view but as a single person problem solving may not be as helpful because you only have one thought to mind. When multiple thoughts are interacting one gets the understanding...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 8
I personally tend to be a very introverted person and I typically don't share my thought processes with other people. However, during these activities, I have learned that sharing ideas is very important. When we began, we were all running...
[IDZ/teen] Day 8 :]
Well we had to follow one person to get the job most of the time and ask a lot of questions to see what was happening when, with the moving of the fossils too. When I observed people had a...
[IDZ/Teen] PROTEST
Today, like every other day, was great. Today we had to create a display for our fossils. We divided up the task and each went to work. Problem solving and team work was key in making sure everything got done...
[IDZ Teen] Day 8
Problem Solving in a group is different than problem solving individually because you have to use a lot of communication. I'm noticing the main factor of this program is to use a lot of communication because I keep on bringing...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 8
Problem solving as a group was different as of than an individual because as a group each person had an idea of what was happening, and each person had an idea of to find a solution or knew of the...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
International relations are influenced by different people/countries viewing animals as good or bad because they might have different beliefs on how to deal with certain topics or they might live through different situations and not understand the other. One animal...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
I'm interested in learning the difficulty levels or obstacles that are in the way of retrieving a fossil and what to do when digging a fossil in a dangerous climate. International relations have influenced people/countries by setting a rule that...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
I'm interested to learn how the scientist put the fossils together to view what kind of animal is it, and I'm interested to learn how the scientist dig the fossil, how they dig it carefully to not break it. International...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
One thing I'm interested to learn from the scientist is after they find a fossil is it their property. Is there like an organization that holds the fossils after they found it. Because after the scientist do all the hard...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
I am fascinated by the scientists. I want to learn how to decipher the fossils. I can never really tell which bone is which. Today we learned a little about how climate change affects people. I would recommend less usage...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
One thing that I am interested in learning from the scientists is that due to the climate change around the world. Some pieces of the fossils would break easier and would go deeper in the ground and would make it...
[IDZ/Teen] Climate
Taking into account what we learned/reviewed about climate change, I wonder if the climate changes has affected their dig or the location if the fossils. Today was cool. We did a lot of work, finishing/linking our fossils, farming, and making...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
I would like to learn more about the environments in which the fossils would have lived during their lifetimes. For example, my fossil seems like it might have lived in a swampy area, but this cannot be known for...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
I am interested to learn more about how the fossil thing works. I cant think of the name oh yeah the fossil extinction works and more about the dinosaurs. I don't really understand what the question is asking but I...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
One thing that I am interested to learn more about from the scientists is the way in which they are able to decide where to go to look for fossils. I would also like to learn more about the transport...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
I'd like to hear what a typical day is like for the scientists. What time they get up, how long they dig, when they have lunch etc, etc. Generally when someone's views differ radically from your own, people tend...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
I would like to learn more about how the scientists interact with the locals and how the locals feel about foreigners coming to dig up their land. In the United States many people see elephants as awesome animals. Over in...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
I want to know how the scientists interact with the indigenous people and more about Zambian Culture. I think that just because we are humans and we have the right to "own" lands, the animals were there first and have...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
I am interested in learning more about evolution and adapting from the team of scientists. In some countries, certain animals may be viewed as pests because of its disruption of farming or tourists, while in other countries, those same animals...
[IDZ/Teen] July 14th
I would like to know how the scientists know exactly where to look for fossils. They always seem to know exactly where to search for them. The way we view some animals may be completely different from how other people...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 7
What I would like to learn more about is how deep underground have all of the scientist had to go to find fossils? For a person eager to learn more about fossils I wanted to know if they ever had...
[IDZ/teen] Day 7 ;]
How do you know what is what on a fossil when you find it, you guys do it so well and everything is very detailed when you explain what you know about the fossils:] I think I know of one...
[IDZ/Teen] Blog #6
One more thing I'm interested in learning from the scientists is how to properly take care of the fossils and put them together so they may be put on display. There is one way I can explain international relations is...
[IDZ/Teen] Blog #5 (day 6)
The first thing we used was team work, and communication. To put the fossils together we talked about it and took down lots of ideas of what should go where. Then we linked them together so it can become one...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
When we put together our fossils together, we first had to organize them into groups (legs, skull, ribs, spine and so on) and then we had to take turns lining them up on the correct planes that would then allow...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
We all picked a certain part of the fossil body to put together. Then, we put them together. We used our communication skills to assemble the parts of the fossils. Adapting avatars showed me how you have to look in...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
We started by assembling the spine/rib cage because it sorta gave a template for the rest of the animal. Once you have the main body you can start attaching extremities like arms and legs and the tail and the head....
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
When the pond flooded I was in so much shock that I was unable to catch any fish. I fled the scene in hopes of saving my life which in turn forced my hunger for food to grow. The avatars...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
To assemble my fossil, my team and I envisioned in our minds what that complete skeleton would look like, then moved the parts together. When you are in an environment, you must adapt to it, take in characteristics that help...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
When putting together the fossils we started with the rib cage then built on from that. It was important to work as a teem and communicate in order to assemble it correctly. Fishing affected my understanding of climate change and...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
In order to put together my fossil we used mostly teamwork. It was a little bumpy in the beginning mostly because it was hard to edit and talk at the same time and one of our pieces of the spine...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
I pretty much treated the fossil like a jigsaw puzzle. I put the specimen together as best as I could by eye, then kept rearranging the leftover pieces until it looked decent. It was easy to tell if the fossil...
[IDZ/Teen] July 13th
Today I wasn't feeling well so when it came time for us to put together the fossil i wasn't here :( Catching the fish was fun and easy and adapting our avatars to look like an animal was fun and...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 6
My strategy for putting together my fossils is by looking the shape of the fossils carefully and by trying to see the similar body parts.The skills that I use in order to succeed in assembling my fossil is paying attention...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 6
The skills I saw used in making or putting the fossils together was teamwork, people had to tell what each other had to do and do it. It was hard at first because sometime people wanted the same fossils to...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 6
We used critical thinking by looking at the skeleton's parts and making educated guesses on where the parts should be placed. Adapting our avatar to our environment made me understand that animals adapt to a certain environment by developing physical...
[IDZ/Teen] Assembling The Fossils - Day 6
Cooperating with my team was the most important part of assembling the fossil. We had to communicate a great deal about what bones we thought should go where. When a team member was confused about what to do, it was...
[IDZ/Teen] Day Six
Well to begin with the objective, putting together my teams fossil was difficult because we did not know were to begin. We discussed how this specimen could have lived in water and how this creature had big ribs making it...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 6
My strategy for putting together the fossils was to use my head to see what matches up. Such as the spine/rib cage, since they all look the same but different sizes we put them together like a puzzle. The whole...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 6...Guess that Fossil
Today was cool. We had to put together our fossils and man it was hard. I really didn't have a strategy. I just put the fossils that looked alike together. Adapting my avatar and fishing influenced my understanding of climate...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 6
When trying to put together our fossils, we looked at the pictures and then looked at the bones which gave us an idea on how it should look. Some parts were easy to figure out that they had to be...
[IDZ/Teen] Bones
Today we had to put together our fossils. It was great. It was really cool to finally see our fossils come together and form something. It did get a little crazy because everyone wanted to move pieces so I decided...
[IDZ/Teen] Linette's Blog: Day 5
The highlights from the trip was the fact that we went behind the scenes, where not many people get to go. I thought that seeing the many jackets they had around was cool to look at, and even the ones...

I think scientists are very smart and organized and have very good plan in what they do. I think scientists have to know what they need to dig and what it has to do with the process of learning about...
[IDZ/teen] Day Two
Science and mass extinction is really fascinating. Though at times it can seem a little boring because you're digging, the hope of maybe finding something interesting, when something is found is a really cool process. Looking back on history and...
[IDZ/teen] My Blog Post
I noticed how scientists have to be patient because scientists have to look at the details on the fossils to see if there had been problems with extinction, to determine what was going on in the past. I see...
[IDZ/teen] Day Two
Learning about mass extinction and other scientific concepts today impacted my view of scientists by realizing that scientist's life is not easy, because they have to go in other countries, they have to study other languages, they have to be...
[IDZ/Teen] Day 2
My view of scientists have not changed. I always knew the reason why scientists do their job. By learning about mass extinction it had me focus on the reason there are so many scientist is because another huge extinction...
[IDZ/teen] My Blog Post
Learning about mass extinction made me realize that scientists discover new details about mass extinction as technology advances. In other to work successfully, scientists must make sure they have all their equipments, food and water availability, communication services are available,...
