Field skills are key skills
Many ways of learning
Learning if part of life
The three ‘E’s: Encourage, Enthuse, Enlighten
Prepare students before the fieldwork
Herbarium resources are often underutilised
Living plants can challenge all senses
Sheer quantity of material can be daunting
monitor progress
Make full use of valuable field time
Lizard peninsular offers a great educational resource
Test field knowledge in the field
Reinforce outcomes
There is no single ‘right’ way of teaching
Use appropriate technologies
Here’s a group test you can run for your students http://quizizz.com
We also had to set a #Twitter scavenge in #HydePark. You can try it yourself from
