[Oz-teachers] [S] Re: Games to enhance teaching

[Sue Burvill-Shaw]

Hi, Tom

You said  < 'here's an area that I'd like to try with a game as it's otherwise not engaging'. We could then try some ideas out.>

How about Federation (especially integrating real sources)?  It is a core part of primary History now & will be even more so once the Australian Curriculum is implemented.  I'd love to see an engaging learning object based around who Federation advantaged and who was disadvantaged which has students use real primary sources to inform their decisions.

I know the Learning Federation try to make this stuff, but they make up sources!  Why bother when there are real sources and that's what we should be using students to use.

Are these the type of ideas you were after?

Sue
