The block finished up about 2 weeks ago and it's crazy to think how quickly it went by. Thanks to a bit of PD with one of the friendly teachers at school, I was able to incorporate SmartBoards into some of my lessons, in both English and Humanities. We used the computers quite a bit in both subjects also with various projects and tasks requiring ICT, from Wordle, to PowerPoint, to the regular, old Internet to do a bit of Googling.
One of my Year 8s in Humanities showed me a great source on the Internet. We've just started a unit on natural disasters and she showed me this game called Stop Disasters. I asked her to forward me the link and that night I had a great time trying out the different disaster scenarios. For anyone teaching Geography, this website is an excellent resource, and the game is excellent for getting the students to think about what needs to be done to help protect a town/village/city from an imminent natural disaster. Definitely check it out!
