Participating in an Experience
1
Open the Experience from your classroom feed
Find the Experience activity in your classroom dashboard and tap or click to open it. You’ll see the travel map and the list of planned locations.
2
View the travel map and planned locations
The map shows the route your teacher has plotted and all the locations where you’ll be stopping. Tap a location to preview what’s planned there.
3
Check in at each location
When you arrive at a location, use the Check In button on your device. This logs your arrival and unlocks the prompt for that stop.
4
Read your teacher's prompt
Each location has a prompt written by your teacher. Read it carefully — it tells you what to observe, think about, or reflect on before you write.
5
Write your journal entry
Use the journal editor to write your response. Add text, attach photos from your device, and include any observations the prompt asks for.
6
Submit your entry
When your entry is complete, tap Submit. Your entry is sent to your teacher for review and added to the Experience log.
Writing journal entries
The journal editor gives you the tools to create detailed, expressive entries:Rich text
Format your writing with bold, italics, headings, and bullet points to organise your thoughts clearly.
Add photos
Attach photos directly from your device’s camera roll or take a new one on the spot to capture what you’re seeing.
Structured prompts
Your teacher’s prompts guide exactly what to write at each stop, so you always know what’s expected.
You can write up to 20 journal entries per Experience — one for each location you visit or prompt you respond to.
After the experience
When the field trip is over, your journal entries don’t disappear — they become part of the full Experience log.- Your teacher may use your entries as a starting point for class discussion, asking you to share observations from the field.
- Entries may feed into a follow-up assessment or Study Guide your teacher creates based on what the class documented.
- You can revisit your own entries at any time through the Experience activity in your classroom feed.
Privacy and visibility
Your teacher is in full control of who can see your journal entries:Private review
By default, entries may be held for your teacher to review before they become visible to the rest of the group. You’ll be notified when your entry is approved.
Controlled sharing
Your teacher decides whether entries are shared with your classmates, parents, or kept between you and your teacher only. You won’t be surprised by who can see your work.
If you’re unsure whether your entries are visible to your classmates, check with your teacher — they control the sharing settings for each Experience.
