Field Trip 3 |
Description |
| Classes can send an ambassador (small toy) on the field trip with the LEARNZ Field Trip teacher. Daily ambassador updates can be read by all classes. | |
| For enrolled classes, students can log in and post their own questions on a Web Board to be answered by the field trip experts. For this special series of field trips from late 2013 until early 2015 Ask-an-Expert will be kept open, apart from school holidays. Once it has finally closed, the Ask-an-Expert link will go to a new page which has a selection of questions and answers from the field trip Web Board. | |
| Students speak to put questions live to experts who are on location during the field trip. Audioconferences can also be listened to live via the Internet audiostream or from a recording. | |
| The LEARNZ Field Trip Teacher writes a detailed diary for students to read, accompanied by 10 captioned images for each day of the field trip - including the travel day on Monday. | |
| Students meet each expert involved in this field trip via a profile page and short video. Potential career and training paths can also be explored on these pages. | |
| Wide format images that help students familiarise themselves with the location of the field trip. Captions containing questions generate focus and inquiry. | |
| All website and field trip photos are available in one easy-to-use location, where students can browse, enlarge, read captions and select to further their interest and learning. | |
| Short, curriculum-rich videos with questions and answers are made on each day of the field trip and uploaded in the evening for viewing the following day. |
