TBH, they sound ~magical~

“When children have access to the same natural space on a regular basis they are provided with opportunities to build an ongoing relationship with the land, to a dedicated educator, to one another and to themselves through this educational approach.” (Dietze & Kashin, 2019)

The Great Digital Outdoors

So here is a new thing that I’m doing. I’ll try to explain.

Shoo Fly Publishing is busy creating digital learning environment called School 360. It is for schools, and parents, and pupils, and teachers and other school related people.

And a big big section inside the environment is the Outdoor Learning. Which is a concept that encourages and helps schools, and pupils, and parents, and teachers to explore and learn about the great outdoors.
