The Educated Kiwi
World War Two Combat studies guides.
Recently @Moodlegirl sent me through a powerpoint of the War in Europe. This animated powerpoint show allowed us as a class to go through what happened very quickly as a recap at the end of the topic. I figured this must come from somewhere and there it is on the Combat Studies Institute pages, along with the Pacific and a number of resources on the US Civil War as well. Now the next step will be to get my students to create one of these using a task that I have traditionally done on paper regarding the post war period and New Zealand. Can I say agin how much I love finding stuff on the internet that we all share (cheers mel).

When the Flu strikes E-Learning comes into its own.

As the whole family has now had the flu it has been a decidedly average week. It has however been a good chance to use Moodle to set my class their work and still give feedback without being there. Our Year 11 History site has been used extensively while I have been away, coupled with

While looking to research the Spanish civil war for my History class I came across the Photos that changed the world site again. While I was only looking for the falling soldier there are just so many of these that I will have to spend a bit of time in class looking at some of

So for the past week I’ve been pretty busy moodling. I’d managed to stuff the database at school somehow but after a quick upgrade and backup during the changeover between periods all was settled. So now we carry on with the KAMAR (our school management system) and Moodle integration. We really want to get this
AIR CON, Global Climate Change
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
I just popped into the local post shop today and skimmed through Ian Wishart’s AIR CON. Since I am studying Climate change with my Year 10 class this seemed interesting. It is a look at the other side of the debate on climate change and since I share clips from An Inconvenient Truth it does

Bee Docs Timeline is software for Mac OS X that makes it easy for you to present historical events in a way that reveals connections and clarifies
