When the world screeched to a halt in 2020, Assistant Professor of Animal Studies Erin Frick<\/a> wondered how young children would continue to get their engagement and learning opportunities.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\u201cOld friends and colleagues usually teach at afterschool programs and summer camps about animals, but now many of those programs would have to go virtual,\u201d Frick said.<\/p>\n

Afraid youngsters would miss those enrichment courses, the student members of the Animal Studies Research Collaborative at Eckerd College<\/a> expressed interest in hosting their own virtual programs to help children quarantining at home.<\/p>\n

Since June 2020, more than 12 Eckerd students have presented a bevy of animals to enthusiastic groups of elementary schoolers on WILDWebinars<\/em>, a biweekly live Zoom presentation that invites anyone to come and learn the basics of a particular animal, including facts about their lives in the wild.<\/p>\n

Interested students or parents can sign up for email alerts about upcoming webinars<\/a> and receive link information via email prior to the date of the presentation. Each featured animal is highlighted through a slideshow and worksheets during a Zoom meeting, and inquisitive kids are encouraged to ask their burning questions at the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cKids have some of the strangest questions that you can think of, like, \u2018Do they have friends?\u2019 or \u2018Do they play with toys?\u2019\u201d said Victoria Brown, a junior animal studies<\/a> and psychology<\/a> student from Downers Grove, Illinois. \u201cWe try to prepare for most of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frick said each presenter chooses their own animal and is encouraged to make a worksheet with questions and coloring pages for children to complete at home. Presenters craft their own slideshow through research. Students who work in research labs across campus have teamed with WILDWebinars<\/em> to show off their subject knowledge\u2014from gopher tortoises to horseshoe crabs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI review the presentations and help run the Zoom meetings. They will provide some introductory life-history information, but we like to focus more on animal behavior so that people can get an idea of what their daily lives are like,\u201d Frick explained.<\/p>\n

Frick said she believes one of the best things about WILDWebinars<\/em> is that it allows Eckerd students to practice engaging in conversations about animals with kids and the public, which is experience that directly helps them build their resume and makes them a stronger candidate for internships and jobs down the road.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6688″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]Elementary school aged children from across the country have been participating in Eckerd-student led WILDWebinars since last summer.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6691″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Katie Willgohs presents the Amazon river dolphin on WILDWebinars.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Madison \u201cSonny\u201d Schoenhoft, a junior animal studies and psychology major from Cary, Illinois, has presented African wild dogs, otters, spiders, snakes and wolves to the group\u2014as well as the fossa, a cat-like carnivore that children immediately recognized as the villain from the Madagascar<\/em> movie.
