Maree Whiteley's insight:
Very clever use of technology here by students at a Perth school to take you on an interactive journey of discovery through their local area. Well done @RobinMckean for creating a meaningful and enaging activity to combine AC History, Geography and Technology

The idea of cross curricular integration of content and skills is excellent. It would however take significant organisation and collaboration of educators to make learning flow smoothly.

Most educators who learn to use Twitter effectively say they learn more from their personal learning network (PLN) on Twitter than they've achieved from any other forms of professional development or personal learning."
Maree Whiteley's insight:
