Future-Ready Field Trips (Room Booth 965)

Get ideas for ways to meaningfully integrate technology into your next field trip. The Monterey Bay Aquarium’s digital learning manager will highlight device-neutral apps that can engage students in learning during field trips, with specific examples of how the apps can be used to maximize effectiveness. Learn specific strategies to support the 4Cs, including: - Creativity: Invite students to create VR tours of their field trip, using the Google Street View app and an audio recording app - Collaboration: Use Instagram challenges or Twitter chats throughout field trips - Communication: Use Educreations to compare/contrast different organisms and habitats at zoos and aquariums - Critical Thinking: Use video annotation apps (such as Coach My Video) to collect and explain data during field trips to science museums
