Traveling!

By: Ivory Pena

Every experience we had there is a lesson to earn. The idea in teaching geography is to let our learners share their experiences to the class. Experience is the best teacher, so as a teacher we can touch the humanistic view of our learners. Even the most silent student in our class will unexpectedly raise their hands and share the experience he had on his travel. Knowing the fact that learners now are very adventurous, it is valid that the teacher conducts some activities that make learners to be creative in their own way. Extrapolating their ideas becomes one of the great motivations for the learners. Traveling in different places will also be helpful to us as future teacher because we can teach easily the course we are handling. It will make connections to the topic, even it is a history. Upon seeing the culture, landmarks and everything we will consider our lesson more reliable and align to the experiences of the learners.  It is in our hands to make our learners engage in the places where they live. Hence, as a future educator of Social studies course we should be able to keep in mind that traveling is one way to enhance our own capabilities in teaching Social studies discipline.
