Creating a Collaborative Current Events Site



Today, I got to experience how valuable it is to learn through "doing". Although we were not completely thrown in the deep end (we have been fortunate enough to have some guidance through sites already), getting stuck in and creating a page allowed me to actively learn and engage in the construction process.

As a team, the MDTA is constructing a resource on current events for teachers to use in their classroom. Our site is multi-model and encourages students to look at various perspectives of groups involved in the event. We have included teacher notes, lesson outlines and many various resources to engage students in their learning. Follow the link below to my page!

  1. Hey Steph, I'm really impressed with your page; you have made it really appropriate for y7/8 students, despite being a NE teacher (I know I would find it really challenging to do the opposite). This would be fabulous to use when discussing the environment or as part of a science unit!

    1. Thank you Danni! Everyone's page came together so well and it was great to see how everyone had different ideas :)

  2. Your page looks awesome Steph - nice work, you must be a professional at making displays in your class with the great colour scheme you've got going on there. Content is great too and I second what Danni says about stepping outside your comfort zone and creating a page for different learners :)

    1. Thank you Heath! Collaboratively we created a great resource and it will be interesting to here whether some get a chance to use it over the next few weeks - would love to hear how they go!
