Making the Most of Community Resources and Field trips

Field trip is one tool that we can use to connect and relate our students with the topic. It is very effective specially when it is related to the things you want to teach to your students. In planning a field trip, there are many things we need to consider; the parent's consult, the teacher, the students, the principal/head and the place if it is capable as a learning environment. It is also important that in planning and  conducting a field trip, there will be learning that would take place. So, as a future educator, we need to have a good and wise planning for the field trip to be meaningful and effective.

These are Edited Copies of reality and used as substitutes for real things when it is not practical or not possible to bring or to do real thing in the classroom. These Contrived experience are designed to simulate to real life situation. 

     It is very much useful in the teaching learning process especially if the things is not present, one example of it is the planetarium, I've experienced seeing the planetarium at Mall Of Asia during my High School Years. The Planet was Magnificent it seems like a real Planet, The heavenly Bodies, The sun, the star..I really Admire the Planetarium Galary.

                          In our learning these Contrived Experiences is so much vital.

             These direct experiences must not be the period or the end. We must brought to a higher plane..

           So, as a future Educator I've learned that this direct experiences is the most effective of all experiences because with it the learner can easily pick up and absorb the learning because he|she can perform it personally.
