About DEA: Pacific Rim

The Discovery Educator Network is proud to announce the journey of our first Teacher Journalist to Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the Pacific Rim. Josh Wolff, a middle school teacher from New York, will be embarking on an exciting journey and sharing every step with teachers and students worldwide.

Josh will be traveling with the cast and crew from the renowned Travel Channel show, 5 Takes: Pacific Rim. While he will be sharing adventures with the Travel Journalists of the television show, his own experiences will revolve around education and will be shared exclusively through the internet. Throughout his journey, he will be sharing blogs, digital photos and webisodes with educators and students. Classes will be able to share their own learning experiences through message boards and provide Josh with questions that they want him to explore and research. Additionally, they will have the opportunity through polls to direct his travels in different locations throughout the trip.

Teachers will be able to access and integrate content that would otherwise be unavailable to them or their students. Students will have the opportunity to see the world: its people, lands, and various cultures in a new and engaging way. The teacher journalist has an opportunity to impact millions of students around the world.
