The most engaging classroom inquiries begin with curiosity and wonderings that often take us wandering outside the classroom to explore, connect with ‘place’, find answers, ask more questions, and learn from experts. Before we venture out, teachers will often ask their students, Who can we ask? Where can we go? In these challenging times with restrictions to our favourite excursion venues, this webinar series will take you to some of our most popular places with online resources, mini-lessons, and virtual experiences to bring the experts into your classroom.
These weekly PL sessions are short, sharp, and perfect for viewing with your colleagues, in the staffroom at lunchtime, or review the recording afterward.
Relevant HASS Curriculum links and programming ideas will be presented by Maree Whiteley at each session, followed by time for Q&A from participants related to the focus topic.
Other excursion venues in this series include Kings Park (Webinar #1), State Library of WA (Webinar #2), Water Corporation (Webinar #4), DIY Tech Excursions (Webinar #5), Seven West Media (Webinar #6), and TBC Scitech, Fremantle Prison, and more.
