The world is full of amazing, bizarre, cool, adorable, and impressive creatures. The world is also full of learners who like them as much as you! In this group, students from around the world will have the opportunity to chat and meet other zoology enthusiasts in a safe, fun, and interactive environment. 
 
Some of the ways that group members will be able to interact include:

Discussion Posts – Topics of conversation and weekly themes will be posted periodically to stir up chatter amongst group members. Some examples may be discussing favourite venomous creatures, animal vs. animal, best defence mechanism in the Animal Kingdom etc.

Animal of the Week – Each week, another animal takes the spotlight. Learners are encouraged to find and share fun facts about this creature, discuss if they’ve ever seen one, and commence in general chatter about it.

Games and Challenges – Periodically, there will be a variety of small games (and maybe a few fun quizzes) initiated by myself for the group to enjoy. In addition, there will be a variety of optional challenges group members can partake in every so often including a monthly art challenge. If students don't want to participate, there's no pressure too! They are still welcome to comment on submissions and support their fellow group members.

Photo Room – Students are encouraged to share their photos of different animals they’ve either taken with a camera or drawn. 

…and so much more!

As the moderator, I make sure that I check on the group, respond to posts, initiate conversations, and come up with new ideas daily!

While in the group, the goal is to get students to be integrated into a community with others that have the same passion as them. The instructor will initiate fun activities, news articles, conversation topics, and challenges for students to participate in throughout the weeks. Everything is challenge by choice and at the comfortability of each individual learner.
