Educator Overview

Units of Work

The Ollie’s Island Units of Work are designed so that middle year students can have an input into what they wish to learn. However, educators wishing to teach using more instructive methods will find the units easy to modify and apply. With students’ focus on learning, educators can spend more of their time facilitating learning and assessing how students learn, whilst also providing them with ongoing feedback.

The depth of the material and activities within Ollie’s Island CD ROM is very comprehensive and will enable students with varying abilities to find their learning experience equally satisfying. Students will need to have access to computers as well as the Internet to complete some activities within the Units of Work.
