I need to go out to Moorabbin today. I want to catch a tram from the Oasis Youth Hostel in Chapman Street, North Melbourne to Flinders Street Station. From Flinders Street Station, I need to catch a train. Could you find out the following answers and add them to a blog post titled “Helping a Distressed Teacher in Melbourne!”
What train do I need to catch to go to Moorabbin and what platform does it leave from?
I need to be at Moorabbin by 12:30pm. What time will I need to catch the train?
The conference that I am attending in Moorabbin is at the Holmesglen Institute. Is that near the station?
If not can I catch a bus from the Moorabbin station? Can I walk? If I catch a taxi, how much money would it cost?
My conference finishes at 2:30pm. What time do the trains go from Moorabbin back to the city to get me back there by 4:00pm? Thanks and I shall read your blog post to get the answers.
On Friday night, I need to come home via Daylesford. Is it worth staying the night there? Is there anything to see? If so, what?
Can you list four of the towns that I need to travel through on my way home from Daylesford to Hawkesdale?
Year 9/10 students, today you are going to start creating a scavenger hunt for the younger students that will not only help their online navigational skills but also their maths skills. Google maps will be used and this activity will be based on a great idea and blog post by Tom Barrett.
Here are your instructions: (Remember I will need to concentrate on an online PD for your participation in the Virtual World’s project.) Note that this is an assessment task and the post and links should be added as a blog post on your blog.
Share your findings with each other and discuss what you will produce.
Goto Tom Barrett’s blog post and choose Shapes in Paris There is a link underneath the google map in tiny, tiny print, click on that. Choose the links on the lefthand side to get in. Zoom in and click on the pins to see what the task is. You are to do something similar to this. Go back and look at the Measures in Madrid etc
Your turn to create a scavenger hunt that involves maths. Choose your local town. You will need to add at least 5 pins.
Register for a gmail account, if you do not have one. Google for gmail and follow the prompts to register.
Goto to google maps and click on My Maps link. Click on the learn more link, if you need to, otherwise just get started.
Goto your local town and think about the maths that exists there. Discuss it with a friend, if needbe.
Right click on the town map, add a placemark. Then in the lefthand side bar, give your first task a title and type in the instructions underneath. (Go back and check Tom Barrett’s work, if needbe)
Add at least another four placemarks with directions.
Work out how to get the link for your map. Copy it and paste it in a Word document
Take a screenshot of your map and save as a jpg
Write a post about what you have done, add the screenshot and the link and we will get some of the younger students to have a go at it and comment back on how they went.
Note: if you are unsure how to do it, search online and there will be instructions for you. A big thank you to Mr Tom Barrett, a teacher from England, for this great idea and to Mrs Gow for alerting me to it.
Year 11 students. Here is the link for our class today. The topic today is Cash records in a Trading Firm. This is from chapter 14 of your textbook. cash journals
Heather Blakey, the creator of globalteacher and globalstudent came to our school yesterday. She spoke to the year 8 students who are working on the Online Safety and Use project about keeping safe.
Look at this post of Heather’s on “Some Golden Rules”. Personally, I love the “safe playground poster”. Compare that with the instructions for safe online use. How much impact would all this text have on the younger students? Why?
Challenge: Create a “Safe Cyber ground” poster, using the text from this post, summarising the text and making it more colourful!
View the movie made by the year 10 girls last year on “Keys to Cyberbullying”. Their movie has had more than 3000 hits. Isnt that great!
