Brochure for Tasmania Tourism

Never used publisher found out it is great for preparing interesting brochures but need to get lots of ideas from the web or magazines or actual tourism before I can get students to work on it. I need to practise on it.

As Greg said introducing different types of brochures to children in class , I think creating brochers is a fantastic activity for literacy and covers a few domains in vels.
This workshop was a big load of information. It is great for the middle year students but maybe also the grades 2s and 3s to create a brochure of their favorite place they visited, this will also help children to learn more about the place through restrictmed research. Children can create creative brochures using their literacy skills, thinking and design skills. I think with lower grades they might get more carried away with putting up pictures.
In my previous practicum the students actually had to prepare a menu with the resturant name and drawing. Thinking this can be done in a more presentable way by using the brochure in MS publisher by taking turns in the computer.
My thought is when we are talking about ICT , in reality how many students have access to computers in a day for 25-30 students if there are only 4 computers in the classroom group ICT work will take higher priority in such classrooms than individual work. B ut this is still better than no exposure to computers and most common forms of technology.

On this thought, duing my practicum we had an opportunity to have laptops available for each stuudent in the classroom which we borrowed fromthe library, which was useful and worked out well for literacy lesson on my unit of work on Penguins , incorporating ICT for reading and writing. In the first week we also learnt using paint mainly for the printscreen function then cut and paste on blog.
In my practicum one of achievements was to finally getting students to draw their favourite penguin with special physical features by using paint and writing the information in the form of labelling , they learnt about their penguin in a previous session.
