The Katote Race!

Work in a team of three/four to:

Breath deep and jump into 'the learning pit'... Go to six 'Pit Stops' around Kaiapoi to answer questions and provide corresponding evidence in the form of links and images. Record your answers and upload evidence in a team Google doc before editing and uploading into this blog.  Create a team blog post about your quest with your answers and evidence. THINK: Creativity, in the way you collect information and present your post! E.g How could we incorporate UDL principles into our post? Record music and voice >>

Coming up on The Katote Race! Monday October 20 at 9am. Katote eleaders battle it out on land and possibly at sea and in the air for a chance to win big! #katoterace

You can use any mode of transportation you wish, including airplanes, hot air balloons, helicopters, trucks, bicycles, taxicabs, cars, trains, buses, boats and by foot.

But! you could also choose to complete this race virtually! Therefore, your team may decide to disband and work on your blog post in different, yet collaborative ways...

Keep the following points in mind as you complete your quest:

• There may be points deducted for any copyright infringement

• There will be extra points for all ‘creative commons’ licensed images or images acquired through the use of a mobile device at actual locations

• Creativity, ingenuity and a willingness to 'give it a go!' is greatly encouraged and will be rewarded

• Keep others informed, or send them down the garden path by using The Katote Race Twitter hashtag #katoterace

• Look out for extra points that can be earned at pit stops will be tweeted out with the hash tag #katoterace

Your 'pit' scaffolds

1. an accompanying facilitator
2. your team
3. four pages in this blog with relevant information and right side links to assist you in this race. For example: Digital Citizenship > How to search for free re-usable images online using Google and Creative Commons. These pages will give you links and instructions for accessing and displaying re-usable images online so that you can be a good digital citizen (and get extra points for not infringing any copyright law)
4. the Internet.

How to create your post: We will assign a team member with authoring rights to do this. 

Ensure you have compiled all your answers, evidence and any 'extra points stuff' into a Google doc before creating your post. Work with your facilitator on this if you need to. We will share, comment and 'judge' each others posts after lunch.  Select the white pencil icon in the orange square to create a post: Start posting in your post doc. It will look like this: Select the 'Blogging' page to find out more about writing posts.

Ready, steady, go!!!  Pitstops  Publish all answers and display evidence in some way in your blog post. You may need to consider creative and interesting ways to do this before you start the race. You may also need to regroup with your facilitator to create your post.

Watch for extra points tweets #katoterace
