Our world is being destroyed far to quickly than it should. The Aboriginals have roamed Australian soil for thousands of years without really harming the environment. Over the years of white settlement (which is really only 300 years) we have done more irresplaceable damage than the Aboriginals have over their thousands of years living here. We need to strive to learn the Aboriginal Australian's way of respecting the land and preserving it for future generations. =====

We can help future generations and Third World countries:

 * Planting Vegetation
 * Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling
 * Avoid using large amounts of paper if possible
 * Using environmentally friendly electricity
 * Install solar panels
 * Find non-polluting transportation to get to school (walking, riding a bike, public transportation)

and this mean't the Chinease often found Gold abandoned by European miners. This mean't they weren't very popular with the European diggers.
3. ﻿The miners would have wanted freedom from the harsh conditions at the goldfields The miners often described the goldfield as a ' graveyard ' and ' every man has a grave ' sort of thing. The goldfields were smelly, over populated, and not looked after very well.

4.﻿ ﻿The freedom from having basically a ' set ' daily routine The miners did not have the exact freedom in the day that they had expected. Basically the routine was- daily inspection of a miners license, walking out to the goldfields, digging through dirt and sending it through the machine, lunch break, more work, dinner and then bed. I know I would want a break from a routine like that.

5. ﻿Finally i ﻿﻿think the miners would want freedom from the worry of being a fatherly figure As the news of Gold discovery spread round, and round the world, fathers left their families to go and mine, dig or pan for gold. But what they may not have known is that the mothers needed help more than anything in the world. Mothers were left to look after the children, as well as going to work, feeding the family and paying the bills. That must have been very stressful.

Homework-
Project / Research- go on to the class wiki and comment on HSIE folder- Why is your Mum as valuable as Gold?

1. ﻿My Mum is as valuable as Gold because she is a one of a kind

2. ﻿My Mum means a LOT to me

3. ﻿My Mum is precious

4. ﻿I am thankful to have my Mum, like i would be thankful if i had Gold.

5. ﻿I would NOT trade my Mum



1. ﻿Gold is bad because it can drive people greedy and mad with power,

A person can forget what is really important like friends or family. The only thing on their mind is gold.
2. ﻿Gold can pollute the environment while digging and using big heavy machinery to get in and out of the Gold mines.

3. ﻿﻿Gold can separate family for a long, long time, as Men and Women are separated from their families for a long time to mine for gold.

4. Crimes can be committed while Gold is valuable.

5. Digging for Gold is not good for your health, staying down in those deep dark mines for hours and hours can give you much more than the flu.



Panning- ﻿ A broad shallow container of metal, usally having sides flaring towards the top, usually used in frying, baking washing, ect.
==== ﻿How does it relate to Gold?- ﻿ Gold panning, The process is one of the simplest ways to extract gold, and is popular with miners because of its cheap cost and the relatively simple and easy process involved. It is the oldest method of mining gold.====

==== How Panning helped miners and Gold diggers- Panning helped the miners by simply being the easiest process of finding gold, Insted of working long, tiring hours of finding gold in a deep and dark mine. Panning is an easy process that should be near a clean river in the sunshine.====

ENGAGE ME

My Immediate thoughts when watching this clip were that the children in the video wanted to be ENTHUSED and EXCITED about what they were learning at school. I am best engaged by a teacher when it comes to research. My teacher ( Mrs Mckimm ) makes it fun by giving us freedom of creativity and when we are allowed to use any form of presentation that we like. I would like it if we could be allowed to use any software that we like,for any project, as well as using computers.As well as using text books.
 * 1.What immediate thoughts come to mind when watching this clip?**
 * 2. Think about your time as a student at school...How are you best engaged by your teacher?**
 * 3. What could we be doing as a school to continue to engage you as a 21st century learner?**

21st CENTURY TECHNOLOGY A Radio A radio can be described as a small portable electronic device, it has a knob to change the radio station that you are listening to and a VERY thin metal pole that is used as a satellite. But a Radio is commonly found in a car. A Radio Listen to music, FM, any types that suits you, as well as listening to the news.AM. I mostly use a radio to listen to music because i am not really fond of the news. Yes it most certainly could, because if our teacher gives us freedom of choice for an information report a radio can come in handy for some topics.
 * 1. Choose a technology that you can use very effectively.**
 * 2. Describe the Technology**
 * 3. What is it called?**
 * 4. What does it allow you to do?**
 * 5. How do you mostly use it?**
 * 6. Could it be useful for your learning in the regular classroom? If so how...?**


 * Add some pictures to your page that match your technology**
