For my second last practical placement I was very blessed to work with a veteran teacher of 30 years. Totally comfortable in her own skin she gave me relative free reign over a science and technology unit on Endangered Animals.
We read books together and investigated the term ‘endangered’. Each child then chose an endangered animal and found out a bit about them. Students used this information to create a short script which they then recorded as a podcast. This being my first project integrating technology there are things I would do differently next time but the students where really happy with their work and were able to share it with their parents through the class blog I also set up.
This project is also on our Wrightstuff Interactive website.
