This term we are learning about Indigenous Australians. Today, the children were immersed into an exploration of Aboriginal artefacts, books, symbols, pictures and more. The children we encouraged to generate questions or wonderings about what they saw. We shared our wonderings through a digital platform called Padlet.
As the teacher I created the Padlet platform. The students then logged on with their iPads and began to use this to communicate their wonderings. They explored the objects around the classroom and took photos and typed in their questions. These are then loaded onto our Padlet webpage and projected onto our Smartboard like a ‘news feed’.
At the end of the lesson we sat together as a class and read through our class wonderings. We now have a record of the students questions to drive our Inquiry unit.
