When Historical Inquiry meets Digital Literacy magical learning happens. Join us for an Early Childhood (P-3 focus) hands-on professional learning day using HASS skills and STEM capabilities. We will explore and create while investigating the significance of time, place and people connected to a significant local site. Participants are asked to BYOD iPad or Smart phone as you will be introduced to a range of Apps and digital games in preparation for a full afternoon of creating your digital resource, designed for your students in your classroom and beyond. The curriculum focus will be past and present family life and technology over time.
