Povzetek

Na gimnaziji Ledina so strokovne ekskurzije že nekaj časa neformalni del učnega procesa, ki dijakom in tudi profesorjem omogočajo poleg lastne afirmacije tudi objektiven vpogled v snov, običajno predstavljeno (zgolj) v teoriji, zelo redko pa v praksi. S tem mislimo predvsem na aktivno sodelovanje pri organizaciji same ekskurzije. V lanskem letu smo namreč potovali v ruski svet, natančneje v Moskvo in Sankt Peterburg, v organizacijo samega potovanja pa smo vključili uporabo sredstev IKT in sodobnih digitalnih tehnologij (prvič smo uporabili Google Zemlja), projektno delo na terenu in spletno učilnico, v kateri še vedno predstavljamo ekskurzijo v celoti (priprava na ekskurzijo, destinacije, e-plakati, videoprojekcije, ruske pesmi in nekatere fraze – podcasti …). Takšno neformalno pridobivanje znanja se vsakič izkaže kot zelo dobra metoda razbijanja monotonosti klasičnega podajanja učnih vsebin.

Abstract

In secondary school Gimnazija Ledina professional excursions are informal part of the learning process for quite some time. They enable student's and teacher's own affirmations and also an objective insight into a substance that is usually presented (only) in theory, very rarely in practice. By this we mean in particular the active participation of students in organizing their own field trips. Last year, we have travelled to the Russian world, specifically to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Into the organization of the journey itself we have included the use of ICT and modern digital technologies (we have used Google Earth for the first time), field project work and the online classroom in which we still present the trip in whole (preparation for the trip, destinations, e-posters, video projections, Russian songs and some phrases – podcasts...). Such informal acquisition of knowledge always proves to be a very good method of breaking the monotony of traditional learning content feed.
