Making History is structured around four themes that relate to historical inquiry:
- Living with Natural Disasters
- World Events, Local Impacts
- Cultural Identity
- Migration Stories and Family and
- Community Life.
Inga Peulich, Parliamentary Secretary for Education and State Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region has today congratulated all participating students and schools at the official launch of the Making History: Research, Create and Share website.
Ms Peulich said the Making History website is a digital resource which enables students and families to be creators of digital contact to tell members of the community the story of Victorians from all works of life.
The Making History website enables students to work as real researches alongside their families and members of the broader community to find out about their past and publish their findings to the world.
“Students used tools and resources and learning skills that will benefit them beyond school, while at the same time, they are developing an understanding and appreciation of their past and the personal histories of Victorians.”
“The Making History project is truly a project for a globalised, connected world and for 21st Century education,” Ms Peulich said.
The Student Showcase displays more than 13 digital histories by primary and secondarystudents from across Victoria. Over 130 students from 10 schools participated in the pilot program.
