Having done arts and craft in class today, I personally am finding it hard to incorperate it into my secondary level math class. I think it would be a great idea for elementary level math, but I do not think there is sufficient time in class and am finding it hard to relate it to Precalculus for instance. However, I do appreciate outdoor learning. Students in particular do not like sitting in class and sometimes need to release their energy, and outdoor learning is a great way to teach the class content while students get some fresh air, sun, and get to experience nature. When I was teaching AP Calculus, the students asked if they could do it outside because the weather was beautiful, and I said sure. It was a different but nice experience. As mentioned in class, it is sometimes nice for students to make decisions for their own learning. In the future, I do plan to incorporate outside learning from time to time when the weather permits.
