Your students are going on a field trip. Perhaps they're headed to a natural history museum or art museum. You want to make sure they go away with something--anything that proves that the field trip was worthwhile. The simplest thing to do is assign a reflection of what they learned on the field trip.
Make sure students are aware of the assignment beforehand so that they can prepare. Allow them to use their smartphones while on the field trip so they can take pictures or write notes about what they learned.
The following apps will help students share what they learned on their field trip:
Google Slides: One of the easiest ways students can reflect on their field trip is by creating a presentation about it. Slides provide a couple of templates tailored to field trips-the field trip template or the photo album template. Or, students can create a presentation from scratch. Students can insert pictures or videos they took of their experience.
YouTube: Students can use their phones to shoot video, edit it, and upload it to YouTube. When shooting video, advise students that they should include a piece from the visit and their thoughts on the topic. At the end of the day, ask them to film a reflection of what they learned.
Storyboardthat: Students can use Storyboardthat.com to upload a timeline of their learning. Use each box to document the day. Students can upload pictures from the day and include written comments.
Book Creator: Students can use Book Creator to create a short book that shares their field trip. They can add different kinds of media such as photos, video, and sound. Book Creator provides the students with the ability to create a comic book style book that can showcase their field trip.
WeVideo: WeVideo is a free all in one video app that allows students to shoot and edit video. WeVideo has an iOS app for those iPad classrooms and is available on the web for those Chromebook classes. It’s easy to use and students can create and edit video right on their mobile device.
