Importance of Field Trips for Holistic LearningPoh Lee Tan
Why field trips are important for children's learning.
We discuss:
The benefits of field trips
Involved Learning is interesting
Contextual learning broadens learning
Relating theories to hands-on experience
Curiosity develops critical thinking skills
Project-based Learning

Transmedia processes show us that there is more than one way to tell stories, more we can learn about the characters and their world, and that such insights encourage us to imagine aspects of these characters that have not yet made it to the screen. While some might look at it strictly for entertainment value, creating a new lens to look at story offers a different point of view.
One distinct logic we have explored at the Annenberg Innovation Lab is Transmedia Play. Human imagination feeds upon the culture around it and children show enormous capacity to re-imagine the stories that enter their lives.
Workshop for Independent School Association of British Colombia at Mulgrave School, Feb 2015. (please note videos will not play but they are in our open G+ community, found at: https://plus.google.com/communities/101164486056743840888
The Open Web is facilitating the power combinatorial creativity like never before. While creativity has always been about remix and “standing on the shoulders of giants”, our networks now allow for boundless creative connections and collaborations. What happens when hundreds or even thousands contribute even the smallest bit to the project pie? How can educators and students participate in established crowdsourced projects, as well as develop their own? The Cloud has become our campfire, where we compose and share stories with the ever increasingly varied media available to us. Technologist Dr. David Weinberger famously noted that “The smartest person in the room IS the room”- can we then apply that concept to creativity? Could what we make together be more poignant, more powerful, and more interesting than anything we could have created individually? In this session participants will explore various established projects and imagine how they might be applied in their courses or professional development plans. We’ll also take some time to ideate one or more original projects that could be implemented with existing tools.
