iExplore


Learners: Kiko & Vicky                                                              Habitat: LH1       
Learning Coach: R. Moopanar                                                  Date: 26.10.17
Learning Area: iExplore - Sunsmart     
Key Competency: Participating and Contributing
Learning Observed
This term our focus is on how we can be capable citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a capable iExplore on Being Sunsmart where they collaboratively explored and brainstormed ideas about what being sunsmart is all about. The lasting understanding from this iExplore was that we can be connected in a variety of ways and display these connections by predicting and processing what the steps are in beings sunsmart. It was great to see the learners supporting each other in being curious and deciding how to be sunsmart and  hear them describe their ways of being sunsmart as an example of how we can recall and connect with others.  All of the learners displayed their capabilities by working with a buddy on their own sunsmart presentation. The presentations can be found on the learner’s Google Drive.
