HOW TO USE THIS i-QUEST
Here are some useful tips to make using this i-Quest easier and more enjoyable:
- When you come across some text that is underlined, it's a link, so just click on it and it will take you to a website outside of the i-Quest.
- Read pages from top to bottom and left to right.
- Make sure you read to the bottom of each page and follow all the necessary instructions.
- When you are required to listen to an audio file or watch a video file, make sure you put on your headphones so you can listen without distracting your classmates. Make sure your volume is on (not on 'mute'), but not too loud!
- At the bottom of each page, there are links to go Back (to the previous page) or Next (to the page that follows).
- Or, you can click on the navigation links listed down the left side of the website to jump straight to the page you are after.
- Although it looks like there are lots of navigation links down the left side of the website, you will only be required to use one of the five student resources pages (the one that is related to your expert role) - this will be explained further on.
Some special symbols:
You may have noticed already that two special symbols have been used throughout this i-Quest. What do these mean?
O If you see this symbol: O followed by text in italics, this is a question that you need to consider or answer. (The O symbol = “child” in some Aboriginal cultures) -> If you see this symbol: -> followed by text in green, this lets you know you are required to do something or take action. (The -> symbol = “animal tracks” in some Aboriginal cultures) |
Acknowledgement of Country
'Acknowledgement of Country' is a way that all people can show respect for Aboriginal culture and heritage and the ongoing relationship the traditional owners have with their land. Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can perform an 'Acknowledgement of Country'. It is a demonstration of respect dedicated to the traditional custodians of the land (or sea) where the event, meeting, school function or conference takes place.
