@http://annmcd.globalstudent.org.au/2009/08/19/wodonga-in-times-gone-by/ In our Wodonga unit students researched some of these past photos of places in Wodonga. During PICA day they talked to their parents and grandparents about the pictures and tried to solve the problem of where they were now and give reasons for their thinking. People in our school community were also asked to comment. They could go to our blog and click on the comment button. They needed to register on Voice Thread first (only disadvantage) Comments are moderated. They can't be seen until you approve them.

They researched what happened in Australia during the time of the photo being taken. This research was put on a wiki and accessed by all Senior students. They then had to write a script together with their team so that they could show what life was like for them in their family at that time in Australia's history. As a team they needed to think about common features that they needed to portray about their family. eg:the occupation of the parents needed to be decided on etc...
