Nehaal's iExperience Learning Story

Learners: Humaam & Nehaal    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 1.5.15

Learning Area: iExperience - Social Science

Learning Observed

We have been working on understanding ANZAC Day and what the soldiers did in Gallipoli 100 years ago. This iExperience was called ‘An ANZAC Pack’ and related to Trench life and warfare in World War One. During the first session, Nehaal and Humaam were completing research around the weapons and gear the soldiers would have used. The learners were provided with a variety of links which they had to read and discuss. From this, they needed to record two facts that interested them. At the following session, they had to go through the information they had discovered, put it into their own language and prepare a slideshow or poster to explain their learning. The link for Humaam and Nehaal’s presentation is below.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Humaam and Nehaal both demonstrated a lot of curiosity during both iExperience sessions. They had a device each and shared their documents in order to work collaboratively - each learner was able to work on the presentation, but on different slides. This helped them to manage their time well, as they were completed within the time given (Managing Self). Humaam and Nehaal had to make connections between what was used 100 years ago and what is used today (Thinking). This is particularly evident in their presentation with their choice of images - some are appropriate and some may need to be substituted.

Next Learning Steps

Elaborate ideas in the presentation. Use own words to describe events. Check that images suit the purpose of the presentation.
