It’s
a Trip! Using the AlphaSmart during field trips (1-2 day)
Field trips
are a large part of the school curriculum. Students sometimes
have a difficult time remembering what it is they are supposed
to gain from the experience and have a difficult time applying
facts gained during a field trip once they are back in the classroom.
If you give them a printed study guide to use, they may lose it,
can’t read it, break or lose their pencil and have no way
to record information.
This workshop is a simulated field trip. The only paper used will
be to create your optional final printout at the end of the field
trip when you arrive back at the classroom. All your work will
be done using the AlphaSmart 3000 Keyboard. You will use the AlphaQuiz
software, the AlphaHub and the Co:Writer Smart Applet.
This workshop will provide you with such a powerful model of new
ways to implement technology that you will want to spend all your
time on field trips!
