Examples of pedagogical scenarios

In the scope of the project, a process of trying out customised identification keys that are adapted to the needs of different educational levels and settings is being developed and tested. Although starting from a position of some experience of using identification tools in the educational context, the KeyToNature project recognises that educational specialists are the best source for creativity in terms of use of such tools.

Therefore this pedagogical handbook is aimed at delivering a short overview of pedagogical scenarios that have been set up integrating identification tools from the KeyToNature project.

The handbook is enriched with experiences gained by teachers and students throughout Europe while using the KeyToNature identification keys. Reports on experiences using non-KeyToNature identification tools in the educational context are also welcome.
