Alexandra Teachers Field Trip Fun

In Module 8 (a field trip), the teachers of Alexandra High School were privileged  to explore the Sci Bono Centre in Newton, Johannesburg. During this strategy,they had to work together to unravel a range of clues that took them on a scavenger hunt, interacting with all the exciting exhibits on display, covering a range of scientific subjects. Some of the clues were embedded in a QR code thus exposing the teachers to the use of QR codes in the classroom.
As internet access is always a problem,the clues were text based which made it possible to scan without needing connectivity.They could however access the internet for assistance with their own data. Some of the clues were just for fun in order to create team spirit, while the others involved keen observation and collaborative teamwork. 

Apart from getting some serious exercise frantically collecting evidence and answering the activity clues, the animated discussion during the assessment proved to be most entertaining!! The room  was abuzz with the sound of learning!!

  2. Later on after this I took my learners for a Geography field trip in our neighborhood, they really enjoyed it and felt like they didn't want to go back. The learning was fun.Seeing them enjoying while at the same time learning I felt I should do more field trips.

    I also enjoyed the feildtrip it is an excellent way to get learners to interact and engage sometimes being stuck in the classroom causes them to be relaxed and not want to do work so this energies them again.
