Use it or lose it!
The artefact collection at TSD on the Carmarthen campus
could be regarded as an endangered species. Fewer and fewer universities with
teacher training course host a collection such as this. Please help us keep ours. Usage
in the 1st term of this academic year fell to an all-time low (this
may be due to the new timing of teaching practice). Space is at a premium in
the LRC on the Carmarthen campus and collections which are not used could be
removed. If you have never used the collection why not come and take a look –
it was created for those doing teacher training but resources there may be of
use to those doing other courses such as Early Childhood Studies and Youth and
Community. Those of you
who have used the collection in the past if you think
it should be kept please
ensure you use it in the coming weeks.
ensure you use it in the coming weeks.
When artefacts are taken into School the children have a
unique opportunity to handle and engage with them which allows a very different
learning experience to using the web for learning. The artefact collection
contains a wide range of objects from Romans coins, Hanukah lamp through to bee-bots,
play parachutes and puppets.
