The teaching aim was to allow students to gain knowledge about Indoor facilities available in the UK for adventurous activities and now about recent facilities being developed.
I was previously cynical about using ICT at a teaching aid in adventurous training, however I was highly motivated by the learning outcome by the students and the interaction and involvement in the lesson.
Video clips of the indoor facilities was a successful and experiential learning tool that enabled students to visual the facility and its purpose. This was a lot more powerful than just lecturing about the venue and giving information orally.
YouTube embedded videos. Ice Factor, Kinlochleven. Dirt Factory (development)
I added slides with information to give knowledge of the learning objectives and also tasks for the class to complete to keep the lesson diverse with different teaching aids.
In pairs create a list of Outdoor Adventurous Activities and discuss which ones have indoor facilities.
Rock Climbing
Bouldering
Ice Climbing
Via Ferrata (Italian translation 'Iron Way'))
Mountain biking
Skiing
Snow boarding
Caving
Surfing
Kayaking
Canoeing
Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP)
On reflection, I feel that using these new skills I have acquired I have enhanced my teaching and will use presentation tools in future in lessons I feel could be enhanced by this applications.
