Anoushka DelaneyThis website is produced by Apple and refers to challenge based learning. The site has great links to Myth Busters and other visual aids for visual learners. The site could be used for both teacher and student as it aims to encourage and promote challenge based learning to the teacher and excite and engage students with technology challenges. The site list challenges regarding identity and sustainability which I believe could be linked across many key learning areas within the classroom such as SOSE, Science, and English. The site also aims to encourage catering for diversity and preparing for the future which I believe are key areas in technology education

Alice BarrTraditional teaching and learning strategies are becoming increasingly ineffective with a generation of secondary students that have instant access to information, are accustomed to managing their own acquisition of knowledge, and embrace the roles of content producer and publisher.
Today’s high school curriculum presents students with assignments that lack a real-world context and activities that lead to uninspired projects and end in a letter grade. Many students either learn to do just enough to get by or they lose interest and drop out. In this interconnected world, with ubiquitous access to powerful technology and access to a worldwide community, new models of teaching and learning are possible.
