This week we have been looking at other countries (China, India, Arctic, England and Africa). It has been very interesting finding out what each countries biggest natural feature was (and learning the difference between natural and man made features). The group who had Africa felt that the giraffe was their tallest natural feature :) wasn't their thinking great!
We were also learning about how to effectively use google to help us find our answers. Some tricks we learnt were how to read the site blurbs BEFORE we entered them, we looked for key words so we could skim and scan a page and how to refine our questions when we type them.
This task also helped us to develop our communication skills. We needed to choose people for certain tasks, negotiate who was going to be the 'googler', we had set time frames to complete the task and an expectation that all questions needed to be answered.
