When learning extends beyond the four walls of the classroom, student engagement becomes immersive. Place-based learning, for example, provides the place in which students will learn. Whether a field trip to the library, science lab, or specific site, student engagement can be increased by changing location. 3 tips for going mobile with learning include:
- Collaborating with another teacher to work on a project outside the classroom.
- Planning instruction that provides for place-based learning specific to a lesson.
- Use of mobile technology that supports mobile learning spaces.
