Term+4



=Google Earth= //Use atlas maps and globe to locate and name states and territories of Australia//

IDEA 1 - Bring up Australia on Google Earth but with the Borders and names of places boxes NOT ticked. Have students label the Places they know (Great Smartboard interactive). Bring up the labels of states and Cities by exploring Australia and having The ‘Places’ layer boxes ticked.

IDEA 2 - Create a virtual tour in Google Earth. Save Places you want students to explore. This collection of places can be saved as a file that can be shared among students.

Other Ideas - Investigation into Skyscrapers..... Sporting tour of Victoria (Metro and Country) Tourist Destinations

Wiki - Eportfolio
Who is keen? I'd like to move the senior school towards online portfolios next year and I'd like some grade begin having students publishing to wiki's next term. 2 options are the go at the moment... http://www.samplemphps.wikispaces.com
 * 1) A class wiki where each student has a page. Here they collect and share their work online. They can insert text direct to the page, upload files, add images and embed videos, songs, charts... just about everything.
 * 2) A Victoria Wiki. Pages could be created around different areas of investigation such as sporting attractions, culture, history, different environments.
