It works for all ages and a multitude of possible trail ideas. It can be done alone, in pairs and in groups and encourages many vital employability and essential skills
sam blyth found global-treasure-app:
- Moderately increases student collaboration“Computing students find collaboration difficult as they are quite introverted, treasure apps helped them collaborate with students in other curriculum areas and historic Scotland staff”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“The workshops from TA take time out from teachers, as can the visits.”
- Moderately improves behaviour or wellbeing“Computing Students often don't get out and about, so treasure apps helps them learn about their environment and makes them healthier as they do”
- Moderately encourage-leaderships
- Significantly improves creativity and critical thinking“The TA app requires media elements such as video, audio and requires to be designed ”
