Webinar - Migration Stories Online Wed 24 Jun 2020 12:00pm – 12:45pm Date: Wednesday 24 June 2020 Time: 12.00pm - 12.45pm Cost: Free Where: online For: Primary School Teachers Hosted by the Association of Independent Schools WA (AISWA) and presented by the WA Maritime Museum and State Library of WA Education teams, this free lunchtime webinar will explore online tools and resources to engage students with stories of migration to WA, and simple ways to remotely explore Northbridge and Fremantle to discover the contributions of migrants to our community. The most engaging classroom inquiries begin with curiosity and wonderings that often take us wandering outside the classroom to explore, connect with ‘place’, find answers, ask more questions, and learn from experts. Before we venture out, teachers will often ask their students, Who can we ask? Where can we go? In these challenging times with restrictions to our favourite excursion venues, this webinar series will take you to some of our most popular places with online resources, mini-lessons, and virtual experiences to bring the experts into your classroom. The webinar is free, but you will need to register your attendance on the AISWA website to receive the live webinar link and the recording after the event (you will be required to create a login).
