Bounty Boulevard State School is an innovative new school in Brisbane's northern suburbs that prioritises the embedding of ICT's across the curriculum. In 2009 the grade 5/6/7 students at the school participated in an online video conference with indigenous students at Cherbourg State School. Students compared after-school activities, favourite foods and school work. I believe this learning experience was highly engaging, authentic and student centred. Students had the opportunity to compare and reflect on the similarities and differences between their urban community and a rural, indigenous community.
