Advantages of outdoor school
-Teaching outdoors gives pupils the opportunity to be more physically active, work creatively and collaborate with others. Outside, students get the opportunity to use their bodies and senses in a different way than in the classroom. It is important to see the teaching that takes place in the classroom and outside in context, and how it contributes to the pupils’ academic and social learning and development.
Pupils learn about the local environment, using smart sound
Imagine that the class is out on a walk, and imagine that they are standing exactly where the first bomb landed during World War II. World War II, while also giving them the history of what happened on this day. Or learn about famous people in your own city by going in search of statues. Also imagine that the student can wander around a museum and not only see, but also hear the stories from the old days and not least get to see pictures of what they hear about. It doesn’t stop there: you can choose the topics yourself. Knowledge of who we are and where we come from provides fertile ground for a sense of identity, and in addition the students are active. In this way, for example, we can take advantage of smart sound in school and teaching.
Cooperation with the tourism industry
– In Norway, a number of audio histories are now being prepared. They are in several categories: history, culture, art, cultural monuments, natural monuments, environmental work, flora and much more. All the stories are of high quality and are made by local celebrities and women around Norway. The stories are translated and read into several languages.
Check what’s already been made at your location. The municipalities can also create such routes as they wish, based on what there is to choose from at this location.
The stories are not made specifically for tourists, but just as much for those who live there, including children!
Is this a possible collaborative project?
Nature and outdoor spaces provide many opportunities as academic and social learning arenas, and teaching outside makes it easier to keep a distance from each other.
Primary school and upper secondary school
Pupils use mobile phones as a natural part of teaching:
- Teacher of the city:

SMART SOUND IN EDUCATION
- WHAT IS POSSIBLE?
Rødberg school
— The project covers much of the general part of subject renewal but also competence targets in the various subjects. And we think the project was so successful that we want to run it every 3 years. year so that everyone can experience it. The pupils get to know their local area, and the project has been useful and will hopefully live on, he explains.
