P2+Debi+Howarth

=**Presentation 3**: Debi Howarth= I have been writing three SOSE inquiry learning units for the Q150 "Our people, our places, our stories" celebration. These units have been designed with the online environment in mind. The student online versions of these units will be available in late April through The Learning Place . The units have utilised some web-based engagement tools such as Discussion Boards, Survey Tools, and Wikis. It is intended that the units be further enhanced through inclusion of a more extensive range of Web 2.0 tools. The symposium provides a good opportunity to explore greater implementation of Web 2.0 tools within the units. The teacher guides are available [|here.] You can also click on the Word of PDF icons below to access Teacher Guides. Please note that the Year 5 Teacher Guide under **FILES TO DOWNLOAD** is superseded by the version at the bottom of this page. Scroll to bottom of page to see the other documents. Student units are available from the Learning Place if you are an affiliate.
