Guest Blogger: Viky Connelly, PHS Last week I brought in a virtual field trip for my students: the Wanderbus! It comes "flying" in over the skyline of Berlin. If you want to see what students saw, you can go to goethe.de/wanderbus and then click on the green button "GET ON THE BUS". The students loved the view of the city and how you can spin the bus around. We clicked on the entrance door, entered our code, and started exploring the different 'stations' (see pictures): Tourplan, Culture, Science, Politics & Events, Games, and a Guest Book - they were all engaging and fun! Each station has short and neat videos, articles, as well as quiz questions. If students answered the quiz question correctly, they earned a pretzel." The videos varied from German history, the Berlin Wall and the Reichstag, to German soccer and Wurst, separating trash (of course), science experiments, a "Gedanken-Experiment" which is a thought experiment, politics and many more. After an hour on the bus, we joined a live zoom meeting with a German/English speaking member of the Goethe Institute. It included a live Kahoot. Here is a quote from the email I received: In our Zoom Room we will have time to discuss your Wanderbus experience and we’ll also play a fun Wanderbus Kahoot! quiz. The schools participating in the Wanderbus Tour will be competing against each other in a nationwide Kahoot! challenge. Can your class make it on the leaderboard?
