Interactive Corner – learning environment
Don’t miss TV ONE’s rescreening of “Frontier of Dreams” on Sundays, beginning 26 November at 12:30pm.
Kia ora and welcome to the Frontier of Dreams online learning environment.
This area has been developed to accompany the screening of the 13-part series. It aims to provide Years 6–13 teachers and learners with a place to discuss some of the themes covered in the series – in particular those of identity and citizenship – and to access information that support curriculum-related explorations.
Each week we will publish curriculum-based Teachers' Notes. These will include links to other sites and collections, which may be of interest to schools when exploring the series.
An online moderated forum is also available to support talking points about the series, and the sharing of ideas and activities. It will stay online throughout the run of the series.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any enquiries about this environment.
