Karis, Selestine, Kavisha & Jahnavi's Antarctica Learning Story

Learning Area: iExperience - Antarctica

Learning Observed and Vision Principles

The learners in LH1 were given the opportunity to opt into a Virtual Field Trip to Antarctica. Kavisha, Karis, Jahnavi and Selestine all chose to participate in this via the education providers LEARNZ. The sessions were run either once or twice daily for five consecutive school days and learners connected using audio conferences, chats, Twitter and video diaries. These four girls were highly engaged and demonstrated insatiable curiosity throughout. They took all opportunities to record their questions while listening to the audio conferences. As well as this, they questioned the questions that learners from other schools had provided! After the formal sections of the audio conferences, we were able to use an instant chat feature to ask our own questions. Each of these four girls chose thoughtful and sensible questions to communicate to the scientists and researchers who were speaking directly from Antarctica. One of their final tasks was to collaboratively create a Kahoot quiz to share with one of the LH1 Hapu Groups about their Antarctica learning.

Next Learning Steps

Share their Kahoot quizzes with some buddies from their Hapu Groups. Listen to the final Audio Conference at their own convenience as we had a School Wide Assembly when it was held. See (or email) Mrs Dillner for the log in details.
