Learning enviroments and techniques - Swansea Waterfront Museum

During our field trip to the Swansea Waterfront Museum I experienced many different learning techniques within different environments. The exhibits ranged from very simple displays of text and pictures up to more much interactive and personal experiences. This meant that a range of learner types are catered for within the museum. One of the elements that I found most interesting was how the museum could stimulate the whole range of human senses from the obvious sight and sound as well as smell, touch and taste. I particularly enjoyed the display in which you had to smell different changing room lockers and then guess the aroma. I think this was an excellent strategy to engage younger children into the learning experience.
