Rationale
|
| |
|
|
|
Students were studying a unit on Gold and we were keen to trial the "Kahootz" software. We loaded Kahootz on 4 computers in the lab and
students worked in groups during our computer time each week. As the software was new, more time was spent using the skills disc on my
laptop, the posters around the wall and trial and error. A lot of collaboration and co-operation occurred amongst the groups. The task
was to see what they could do and work out together - and of course they wanted to know and do everything! The problem as such was small -
to show the travels of a migrant worker to Melbourne, on his or her way to the Goldfields.

|
Student Tasks
|
| |
|
| |
|
The students were to research how people traveled to the Goldfields. They read some diary entries from people who had
made their way to Australia, enduring hardships such as sickness, poor weather, dietary needs and conditions on the boat.
The students had to plot their journey to Australia.
