I have had the fortunate opportunity to travel to many countries and this will be my first trip to Australia. One of the things I look forward to doing is capturing and sharing our experiences with lots of photos, more blog postings, videos, and podcasts. Most of our content will be published or linked on this blog. We also have twitter accounts set up so I will be posting to twitter here.
As the trip fast approaches I am hopeful that many of my friends and fellow educators around the world will encourage their students to follow along virtually with our journey and participate in our learning by adding comments to our blog postings, adding questions about things we are learning, postings comments on our twitter feeds, and perhaps creating digital stories with the photos we publish. If you have a specific request for content, by all means let us know. Also if you are an educator reading this and you are not part of the Discovery Educator Network now is your chance to take that next step in growing as a professional. The link to the DEN can be found here. Also if you have an interest in perhaps taking an adventure trip with a lucky group of students there is no better group to work with than the Discovery Student Adventures. They can be found here.
And so with that I leave this posting with a few Australian phrases that I will be sure to use while I am there.
Away with the pixies = Daydreaming
Bush = Land outside of the city
Good on ya = Good for you
Who can tell me what "Didgeridoo" means and post a little history about it?
