Povzetek

Ob klasičnem pouku, ki poteka tako pri nas kot na drugih šolah, že dalj časa organiziramo različne izvenšolske dejavnosti kot neformalni del učnega procesa. Med njimi imajo posebno mesto strokovne ekskurzije. Z njimi dijakom predstavimo materijo, ki običajno ni predstavljena v praksi. Ker morajo dijaki sami sodelovati pri predstavitvi same ekskurzije, oblikujejo drugačen odnos do posameznih tem pri različnih predmetih.
Na šoli smo s pomočjo ekskurzij spoznali že večji del Evrope. Na pobudo dijakov, ki se  učijo ruščino kot drugi tuji jezik, smo se tokrat odločili odpotovati v Moskvo in Sankt Peterburg. Idejo smo z veseljem sprejeli, saj nam je to območje kot del vzhodnega sveta dokaj neznano. Na ta način smo dijakom omogočili neposredni stik z deželo, v kateri govorijo rusko, ki živijo drugače kot mi, ki imajo bogato zgodovino in seveda, to je našim dijakom omogočilo neposredno učenje jezika, spoznavanje kulture, zgodovine …
Z uporabo sredstev IKT, Google Earth kot dela sodobnih digitalnih tehnologij in projektnega dela na terenu smo organizacijo potovanja nadgradili, s spletno učilnico, v kateri predstavljamo ekskurzijo v celoti, pa smo pridobljeno znanje uspešno prenesli na ostale dijake, ki se ekskurzije iz različnih vzrokov niso mogli udeležiti. V spletni učilnici smo predstavili pripravo na ekskurzijo, destinacije, e-plakate, video projekcije, ruske pesmi, nekatere fraze itd.

Ključne besede: IKT, Google Zemlja, Wikipedija, spletne strani, spletna učilnica, digitalne tehnologije, avtentično učenje, elektronski plakat, podcast.

Abstract

At our school we have a very long tradition of organizing various extra-curricular activities as an informal part of the learning process. Excursions have a special place among them. With these students are presented the matter, which is usually not presented in practice. Since the students themselves participate in the presentation of an excursion or field trip, they create a different attitude towards certain topics in various subjects.
At our school we learned about a greater part of Europe through field trips. The students who are learning Russian as a second foreign language, made the initiative and so we decided to go to Moscow and St Petersburg. The idea was gladly accepted, making the area as part of the Eastern world quite unknown to us. So we allowed students direct contact with the land where they speak Russian, where they live differently than we, which has a rich history and, of course, that has allowed our students directly to learn the language and to learn about their culture, history, etc.
With the use of ICT, Google Earth as part of modern digital technologies and project work in the field, the trip organization was upgraded. With virtual classroom in which we presented field trip in full, we have successfully transferred the acquired knowledge to other students who were for various reasons unable to attend field trip. In the online classroom, we presented the preparation for the trip, destinations, e-posters, video projection, the Russian songs, some phrases, etc.
