CMIS Evaluation

 The day has been initiated by Save the Frogs group dedicated to amphibian conservation. On their website there is a great amount of information about frogs. 

 Coincidentally and in time for this celebration, the Western Australian Museum “Frog” Team have dicovered two new species in the Kimberley. Read about this exciting discovery and much more at the museum’s Frogwatch pages.

Students and teachers can also learn more about Frogs on the CMIS Frog Theme page.

ABC Online has launched an innovative website in time for ANZAC DAY 2009. Gallipoli: The First Day developers have utilized the latest technology to produce an amzing and extremely useful resource for teachers and students.  The innovative site allows the user to “be there” with the combatants – on the beach at ANZAC Cove and in the cliffs above.

The computer graphics and simulations are very realistic and are enhanced by the use of primary source materials and Google Earth at Gallipoli.

The website should help dispel the myth amongst some young people that history is boring.

Although the site is resource rich it is very computer resource hungry. It has been designed around ADSL delivery and dialup and wireless users may experience some difficulties with the downloads.

Other ANZAC Day resources are available on the CMIS ANZAC Day theme page
