Title: Mission Explore - creative curriculum design through fieldwork
Abstract:
Explore ideas for playful learning inside and outside the classroom using the Mission:Explore resource. This is a cross-curricular approach, which involves exploration, creativity and learning using quirky 'missions'. Mobile learning will be explored and demonstrated.
Background:
The 'Mission:Explore' books and apps are an approach to learning called 'guerrilla geography'. They were designed for young people to carry out 'playful research' to investigate their local area. This approach has developed to embrace other areas including fieldwork, curriculum development, literacy, collaborative work and practical action. The workshop will be a 'training session' in the approach and an introduction to the missions in the books and apps. A free website offers over 10,000 missions across the UK. The Geography collective are also working with the Cultural Olympiad and have worked with school and university students in many locations around the UK. Come and have your eyes opened to the geography around you.
Lots of other familiar names from my Twitter stream will also be leading seminars over the course of the BETT show (the final one at Olympia) and I hope to bump into lots of friends old and new.
I'll also be popping in to the OS and ESRI stands on the day, possibly doing some sort of presentation ont the latter (and maybe the former, as a project I'm working on might be ready by then...)
