	1: LAMS and excursions By: Bronwen Dalziel		02/13/06 11:16 PM	[ Reply \| Forward ]
One of the ways that I've imagined LAMS being really useful is in the context of a class excursion. Students could complete a LAMS sequence before and/or after going to look at a museum, gallery or even the zoo. This could link the students nicely to any of the resources that the museums etc offer online. I think that most museums offer fabulous resources online, and this would help to focus students on important information, away from the hussle and bussle of being out and about. I would like to know if anyone out there has ever used LAMS in this way, and to know how it went. What was useful and what was not? Or, if you have not used LAMS in this way, do you think it would be useful? Should we encourage museums etc to design LAMS sequences around their websites to help teachers with excursions? Let me know what you think. Bronwen Posted by Bronwen Dalziel

Hi Bronwen, I am just about to use a LAMS sequence with a Yr 10 Geography class, leading up to and beyond a Coastal Field trip to the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The ideas are only in my head at the moment but I'll keep you posted. Chris Durante (Loreto Kirribilli) Posted by Chris Durante

Hi Chris, I'm definitely interested in how you go. Especially whether the students were more focused on what they had to achieve, because of prework, and if you used LAMS for data sharing and discussion afterwards. Thanks for feedback. Bronwen Posted by Bronwen Dalziel
