Organising For The Web

Overview

Through the stimulating scenario of organising a World Tour for their favourite music artist or organisation, students initially get themselves organised for the unit by revisiting organisational strategies they met in the previous unit. Through exploration of the features of different search engines, students work collaboratively in teams to research their local city, research and design a World Tour schedule and plan flight routes. Student consider working safely with cloud computing services before collaboratively planning their tour itenary using an online platform. Continuing the online collaboration theme, students then work together to create an exciting online presentation using Prezi. Finally, the students work individually to produce an assessed writeup summarising the work they have done.
