Summary
With learning being based in the home, it is important that students can still engage with learning that they have co-constructed.
This activity of developing and designing an outdoor game demonstrates a student showing agency for their own learning, and being active and engaged socially with others, especially their family.
The student began by generating ideas, producing game plans including diagrams and identifying items for construction.
Consideration of available space, prior knowledge of mini-golf courses, obstacle courses or marble runs and the use of technology to search unknown information were all part of the designing process.
After construction and using the course, the student was asked to reflect upon the task and consider the successes, things that did not work and anything that could improve the game.
The learning experience of Anthony drew on several aspects of the Australian Curriculum and he was able to consolidate his learning and develop a range of skills in an interdisciplinary way.
