Hi all, you'd think I'd have better things to do over the christmas break, but at our last session one of the participants referred to a schooling system in the outback in Australia that has been very successful. Any additional details/info appreciated.
Hello, I didn't catch the reference - hopefully someone will post it up here but in the meantime this seems to be a good reference point:

Its a blog of a teacher based in our region who is interested in international pedagogies - the most recent blog mentions Australian system. Hope useful.
A site which looks at outback distance education (1 article)
ReplyDeleteThese other two links provide ideas on how you can get children to engage from a distance using ICT pod and vodcasting. This could be a way forward as they can engage with peers in the classroom safely. I hope these are of some help.
