Outdoor School with Fun Tasks

What is Wittario?

Wittario is a platform that allows students to participate in an active and fun learning environment. You get answers to questions or solve various tasks outdoors using photos, videos and augmented reality. Augmented reality means that you combine something real you find outside with something digital in our app.

• Fun

• Educational

• Outdoor activities

With Wittario you get varied activities that provide good opportunities for learning outdoors. You can collect points by answering tasks while moving. Use our templates or create your own games.

The importance of digital competence

In a world where almost everything is done on a screen. Whether it is shopping for food and clothes, communication, work, school or paying bills. That children and young people can participate in this development is of course a good thing. They have a long life ahead of them where knowledge of digital platforms is becoming more and more important after all the sun signs. Being able to combine this learning with them simultaneously working on subjects on a walk in the fresh air is something we at Wittario value very highly.

Work individually or in groups.

Sometimes it is best to work alone, while other times group work is the best option. Wittario offers good options for both. Most students enjoy the tasks where you solve the problems together.

Students thrive in outdoor school

Whether it's summer, fall, winter or spring, students thrive in environments other than the classroom. There are many children who get restless within the four walls of the classroom, and who benefit greatly from getting out into nature. This has been particularly evident during the pandemic, when much more of the school day has been spent doing puzzles, nature trails and other outdoor activities.

In addition to the fact that fresh air is good for health, many children find it difficult to concentrate with a book and notebook. The second teaching combines digital with outdoor activities, you may see a completely new student.

Focus on usability

An important part of the development of Wittario was and is usability. In order for the youngest students not to lose patience, we knew that we had to make it both easy to learn and to use. This also makes the threshold for using Wittario lower from the teacher's point of view.

Ideas for inspiration

There are many paths to take with our application. Which path you choose depends of course on the subject to be taught and which grade you are working in. We have set up some examples:

• Science – take care of the environment and create tasks about nature conservation. Pick up trash and register it in the app.

• Social studies – learn about local history on a walk and have tasks and questions related to the local environment

• Mathematics – Wittario allows you to easily set up math tasks with, for example, fractions. Let the children count how many spruce trees there are in relation to pine trees within a given radius and how to set it up as fractions.

• Physical activity – have relay races where the goal is to get your heart rate up while taking pictures of insects, for example, or you have to answer a question correctly before you can switch to the next person.

• Norwegian – take a picture of ten nouns, or a video of someone performing different verbs. Teachers who are on a trip can be great protagonists here.

Of course, these are just a few examples in a sea of ​​possibilities. Just try it out, and you will quickly find the method that suits both teacher and students.

Tips for those who will use Wittario

Wittario is perfect for outdoor school, the classroom and as homework. For older students, it is also suitable for use as preparation and after-school work.

Take advantage of Norwegian outdoor life

Norwegian nature is a gift that should be used. Whether you are a student or a teacher, the forests in this country are a perfect learning environment. With Wittario you can create fun tasks for the trip. For example, you can create a task that looks like this:

Of course, you can create these tasks as you wish, and link them to any topics and subjects you have at school. Wittario has a game library that you are free to use.
