Learning in the Outdoor Classroom

January 24, 2008 By: suewolff Category: learning environments No Comments →

Recently, a headline caught my eye about teaching in the outdoor classroom. Trying to transition away from teaching, I resisted the magnetic vortex pull to read it, and uncharacteristically, did not even bookmark it. Now I am haunted, wondering, where and how could I at least facilitate learning outside that would be so naturally integrative, yet keep me with people interested in systemic change to all kinds of learning environments. No answers yet, just wondering.

Learning in Place

Running in place, remember that tedious calisthenic? On some level you recognized the activity was good for you, but you would much prefer running around instead? I feel that way about learning. I can sit at my computer for hours on end GoOgling and yet it is so much more satisfying to go somePLACE and learn. Are you learning in place? Tell me about your learning in place projects and how they fit into your school day.
