Outdoor classroom on the golf course - the perfect place during a pandemic
|
|
|
|
Golf courses could contribute to better teaching by offering a variety of green surfaces for outdoor teaching. This gives opportunities to vary learning environments that complement the indoor classroom as the site of teaching activity. This inspirational handbook (in Swedish) describes experiences, ideas and practical activities that can be used in everyday teaching outdoors. There is a short video about the project in English.
