**In this section you are setting down what you wish to learn in the area of** //**Studies of Society and Environment**// **and in Information, Communication and Technologies. You need to note what you wish to learn as an outcome, then go on to say how you will achieve this outcome.**

//**Studies of Society and Environment**//  **Interest Group 1:** History **Outcome:**  To further develop and deepen my knowledge and understanding of the history of the Gold Rush Period in Australia. In addition to this, I will look for ways to increase my confidence and methods in teaching this to students in the future. **How it will be achieved:**  I intend to use a WikiSpace to show the research and learning I have collected. This will allow me to express my learning and research not only in text, but other various forms including, videos, websites, and pictures.

This will include finding relevant and engaging methods to assist students best in their learning process. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**How it will be achieved:** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I will present my findings with a PowerPoint display, showing learning, methods and techniques. This will further my own future teaching.

It will also be shown in the evidence of ICT & Geographic Learning.

During this time of learning we will be teaching each other skills and knowledge that is being learnt and developed. This will be conducted over Google Docs, Picasa, Moodle, Google Maps & Earth, Youtube, WikiSpaces and other various sources.

I will primarily be showing others how to use the new technology that we will be using, this is something that I am quick to learn and explore.
