3. FIELD TRIP CONTRIBUTIONS
- Let me know how you used the trip with your class so I can encourage other teachers. Send your ideas to me shelley.hersey@core-ed.org, e.g. audioconference summaries, photos of artwork, Blog links etc and I will publish it for your class and others to view.
4. KEEP USING THE FIELD TRIP
- The Waterview Connection website has all the field trip material recorded for you and your class to use, including the first field trip from 2014. Remember to continue to access the activities. Be sure to take a look at the videos and the many still images in the photo gallery. Also get a better idea of the field trip surroundings by looking at the panoramas included in the diaries.
- The new enhanced LEARNZ audioconferences are available for replay at any time in Audioconference Recordings. These recordings include the supporting visuals, text and audio from the formal audioconference as well as the spontaneous questions and answers from the open session.
- Watch the videos and follow the video questions link to encourage further inquiry.
- The Ask-an-Expert Web Board will be open for your questions until Friday 4 September 2015. This is an excellent place for students to ask questions and learn about the correct procedure and language to use on an internet forum such as this.
- Read or listen to the background reading pages and field trip material to help focus your class inquiry.
Ka kite anō,
