    Woow!

    Hi Andrew,

    I'm very impressed with this sequence.

    Specially with the way you use the "Define in Monitor" option in the activities to create a customized experience. Really cool stuff!

    Adaptable design

    This is a fun sequence for the students and the teacher to do. Andrew uses the collaboration potential of LAMS to good effect.

    I can easily see this sequence being used not only for art or media studies, but for history and geography, or any situation where you want students to collaboratively produce a display or presentation.

    I'd certainly recommend it to a friend!

    (PS: There's a file that needs to be uploaded into one of the Share Resources areas before you run this with students - it's a campus map that's missing, but that doesn't stop you adapting the sequence for your own situation, or substituting a URL link to your own campus/school map.)
