DISTANCE LEARNING (video p. 102 )
School of the Air
Distance learning school
Lessons on internet or radio
Teachers work in towns like Broken Hill or Alice Springs
They prepare and teach lessons live
The Outback
Very big, empty areas in Australia
Families live far from towns and schools
Too far to go to school every day
Life at Home
Learn at home = hard work
Should not sit too long
Can learn in kitchen or outside
Learn about nature and science
Help on the farm (animals)
Best part for students like Jamie and Paul
Final Ideas
School in Australia is similar, but different in the outback
Distance learning is tough but fun
Students need to be independent and responsible
Learning can happen anywhere!
How It Works
No sports hall or science lab
Students use headphones, microphones, computers
Subjects: art, English, ICT, maths, science, history, geography, drama
9 to 15 lessons a week
Each lesson = 30 to 50 minutes
5–6 hours of study per day
Must do homework!
Normal Schools in Australia
Similar to schools around the world
Same subjects and activities
Eat in canteen
Have assemblies and drama in main hall
Study in library
Travel to school by bus, walking, or car (with seatbelts)
