New Technology and Outdoor Learning: Summary

When I first started to write up my presentation from the  2010 Learning and Teaching Scotland Outdoor Learning Regional Events it was going to be one long post. In the end I split it into eight shorter ones because I seemed to have a lot to say.

I promised delegates at the event that I would post my slides and notes on-line.

The slides that I used are embedded below:

Outdoor Learning and New Technology

The notes from the presentation are in eight parts:

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning: Introduction

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning - 1 of 8: Geocaching

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (2 of 8): Educaching

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (3 of 8): Using Mobile Phones

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (4 of 8): 4 of 8: Bing Maps and Google Earth

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (5 of 8): Activities with purpose - Open Street Map and Microsoft Photosynth

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (6 of 8): Using Blogs

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (7 of 8): Inspiring Stories

• New Technology and Outdoor Learning (8 of 8): The Curriculum

I guess with this summary post that makes ten in total!

A fantastic information resource Ollie once again with practical examples and ideas from others too. I love the simplicity of the educaching - kind of advanced orienteering as a learning hook!

The adventuer narritave is a great learning opportunity and may also inspire pupils to there own adventures. The mixture and blend of learning styles over the 8 posts re-affirms the value, use and the power of outdoor learning. It highlights to others not to see it as a standalone item but an opportunity to blend more "formal" learning with outdoor experiences to help accelerate learning.

Great stuff.
