Norah's Dolphin iExplore Learning Story

Learner: Norah J          Learning Coach: Bex Remington          Date: 1 April 2015

Learning Area: iExplore - Dolphins

Learning Observed

Norah shows a lot of enthusiasm for her iExplore topics and I have noticed that she has been especially absorbed in her current iExplore about dolphins.  Norah came and told me she wanted to create a resource for our habitat that would help people learn about dolphins.  When I asked why, she told me that she thought dolphins were amazing animals and people should know all about them.  She said the most interesting thing about dolphins was their body and the parts that made them special.  Norah decided that it would be great if other learners could learn about the names of the body parts and information about them.  She came up with the idea to make a matching ‘snap’ game where players had to match the name with the information.  She is now putting together the information that these cards will be created from.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Norah demonstrates the ability to relate to others as she sees her research and game as being beneficial to others.  She shows curiosity and is always wanting to find out more and develop her knowledge.  I have been pleased with Norah’s ability to manage herself and work independently and steadily on her iExplore project.

Next Learning Steps

Complete her research and create her game Share her game with others and listen to their feedback Think about other ways she can share her research with others
