Showcase
China
- Ingegrated resource for teachers (Year 1
to 10)
http://asia-knowledge.tki.org.nz/showcase_china_beijing_2008
The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, which will
begin on 8 August, are a unique opportunity
to engage students in learning about China.
MOE has partnered with Asia:New Zealand Foundation,
Confucius Institute, International Languages
Aotearoa New Zealand and the New Zealand Olympic
Committee to develop this online teaching
and learning resource to be used in the lead-up
to the Games.
Showcase China is aligned to
the new curriculum, and in particular is an
opportunity to engage students with the future-focused
themes of globalisation and sustainability
through making connections across the learning
areas, values, and key competencies. There
are two teaching and learning resources, each
with activities for years 1-10. Learning areas
include: Social Sciences, The Arts, Learning
Languages and Physical Education. Showcase
China includes one way that teachers
and learners can approach current issues leading
up to and during the games.
Professional development and one day courses
for Showcase China are planned
in mid June for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch
and Dunedin. See the NZ Education Gazette
for further details. |
