Hi, I'm Gabriel and today I'm going to show you how you can use Goodnotes Classroom to deliver interactive and engaging lessons for your students while you're on a field trip. So here we are in London right in front of the beautiful Big Ben and House of Parliament. The problem with field trips is you can never really be sure whether your students are actually taking away some learning from it or whether they even pay attention despite you spending all of this time, money, and effort to actually come over here.
Here's what Goodnotes Classroom can do to help you with that problem. I've already created a notebook in Goodnotes that I've shared with my students. They all have access to it on all their devices and every update that I make is available to them in real time. So I want them to take some notes about what they just learned about some of the landmarks that we're standing in front of. Let me go ahead and insert a photo of one of the landmarks by tapping on the Image tool. I can go to the camera and take a photo of Big Ben. Let me zoom in a little bit and if I'm happy, I can use this photo and insert it into the page. As soon as I do that, my students get access to that and they can start taking notes on it in real time.
I want to create a little bit more space so I'm going to tap on the photo again and choose Crop, let's go to Freehand and just draw around the tower. Here we go. Let's take a second image of the House of Parliament. Again, I'm going to tap on the Camera tool. I can zoom in here and just hit the Shutter button. I'm also happy with this photo. We're going to crop it again to focus on the landmark that we actually want to learn about and here we go. Now I can go to Teach mode at the top to see what my students are annotating in real time. This looks pretty good already. Let me swipe through and see what all the other students are doing. I can use this Class navigator at the bottom to quickly see what students are writing.
I can even see that some of my students have inserted photos of their own which allows them to make these notes very, very personal and actually be something that they can learn from once they come back. All right, I hope this shows you how you can use Goodnotes Classroom to really deliver engaging and interactive lessons.
