This is a great advantage for us as teachers, too. It is true that creating this tool involves some preparation work, but once created, they allow us to free ourselves from the routine to develop more professional and creative tasks, generating classroom time to orient and conduct a more personalized follow up with students, with all the benefits this provides for their development and learning. Other alumni with internationally renowned practices include Arabella Lennox Boyd and Thomasso del Buono.

Another key point is that Genially allows you to integrate content from thousands of digital providers. For example, we can integrate YouTube videos, virtual tours, or even Kahoots. It allows us to have everything in the same place, concentrating information in one point and preventing our students from being lost in an ocean of information. Learning pathways. They are the basis of learning landscapes. The teacher should be very clear about the learning route (or routes) he/she is going to design for his/her students. These routes are made up of various activities, which may be compulsory, optional or reinforcement activities, and which will be connected to the curriculum being taught. How do we design these learning routes? Continue reading.

Here are Landscapes for Learning’s top tips for anyone else looking to start or grow their own business:

Programming matrix. The definitive tool that will help us to programme our activities. Do you remember multiple intelligences and Bloom’s taxonomy? These are the axes of this matrix or table, on the top of which we will place the eight intelligences and on the left side of which we will include the six levels of the taxonomy. This will result in a document with 48 boxes where each of the intelligences converge with the taxonomies. The intelligences guide the style of activity and Bloom will direct the focus of these. These boxes will help the teacher to design the activities he/she wants the students to do, which may have different depths and levels of difficulty. And, as mentioned above, these activities will be compulsory, optional or reinforcement activities.Many of our students are digital natives, and the use of digital tools like this help us to transform them from digital natives to digitally qualified. That is, Genially gives us the opportunity to instill judgement and provide knowledge so that our students are digitally judicious, critical, and competent. It has 14 green roofs including a flower meadow, a wetland and dedicated facilities to study algae and aquaponics. Together they cover an area of about 12 tennis courts, possibly making it Europe's largest roof-top classroom. Leading research and development Naturalistic intelligence. It is the ability to recognize and classify the many species of flora and fauna in our environment.

But we also believe getting the children and young people’s views are essential too. They are the experts on the school grounds and they are the ones that know every nook and cranny, where the cold wind blows in the winter or where it gets baking hot in the summer, where there are signs of wildlife or where the older pupils dominate the space. They are the ones who will be outside the most and they, if we are honest, the ones with the best ideas for change! We believe it is vital they are properly part of the consultation process and we have loads of ideas of ways to engage them with this from the very young, to those thinking about careers and training when they leave school. Although similar in title, our two organisations (Learning through Landscapes and Landscapes for Learning) are very different in history, experience and services provided. Being the size we are we can keep our prices very competitive yet offer the high quality of a trained and time-served carpenter. It facilitates individualised attention to the student. Learning landscapes respond to the needs of learners by providing them with an audiovisual, intuitive and functional environment that captures their attention, making content more engaging, achieving greater retention of concepts and enhancing their digital skill.Although most of our courses are half or full day, we also offer long-term training in outdoor learning and play. Both our Lead Teacher in Outdoor Learning and our Teaching in Nature programmes offer an alternative to costly and narrow-focused Forest Schools qualifications. For Early Years we offer Lead Practitioner in outdoor play and learning, Nurture Nature and Forest Kindergarten as in-depth and long-term training options. All staff carry out research, from Duncan Goodwin's work on the environmental and social benefits of green infrastructure and urban trees, to Honoré van Rijswijk's investigation into 'small urbanism' – how small-scale developments can be a catalyst for urban regeneration when public budgets are tight.
