What+we+conclude...

A few final comments:

These four resources could form an effective unit on the human body for Year 5/6 students; many others dealing with topics such as the skeleton, neuro-muscular system, and different body parts are available (Learning Federation, 2010). Web-based digital resources can solve many problems for schools with tight budgets, crowded curriculum, fewer computers than students, and limited access to specialist teachers. They enhance learning by providing experiences not possible with print media and traditional pencil and paper tasks. Sound, colour, animation, interactivity and challenging tasks encourage student engagement and provide for student diversity. Integration of ICT, Science, English literacy and other curriculum areas ensures that student skills are transferable, as they need to be in real life. Teachers will find that digital resources not only extend student learning in the chosen area but can inspire ideas for further lessons.
