Student Learning

Based on the planning by the classroom teachers, Teacher-Librarian and the Instructional Leader, the students will be involved in a 3-4 week process surrounding the Digital Field Trip.

Initially, the classroom teacher will lead the students through Stage 1 of the Research Process. (See the related link on the right hand menu of the blog.) They will develop questions for the field trip, based on their in-class learning about Urban and Rural Communities.
Next will be the technology skills lessons, to teach the correct use of the digital voice recorder and the effective use of a digital camera for this task. Following this, the students and teachers will have time to practise the use of the technology and to rehearse oral recordings. The students will be expected to accurately pronounce and use the related vocabulary. A lesson on storyboarding, as a tool for documentation of the audio and visual components, will be conducted. These three elements will be the responsibility of a trio group during the field trip, for use during interviews and the bus and walking trip. With this preparation the students will be ready for Stage 2, Access Resources.
