The lesson will be approximately 30 minutes long. Self-reflection to assess on how the lesson will engage and enhance the students learning experience. Evaluation and assessment designed for our peers to complete, so we can receive feedback on the effectiveness of our lesson and if we achieved to integrate ICT into our lesson. Before we present our lesson to our peers, we will test the ICT resources to make sure everything is working.

Our aim for the ICT project is to enhance the students understanding of the ANZAC history, as well as understanding importance of honouring and remembering all of our troops past and present who served Australia. In order to teach our students such a significant time for our country, we want to deliver and provide important information and facts in an engaging, interesting and creative way, which will relate to todays students interests and needs. That is why we created interesting and forward thinking lessons, which include hands-on, research-based, creative and problem-solving activities.
