2011 in a peanut shell: Students sent me to a deserted island to survive for the month of August on the Crusoe Project. A team of Tasmanian students shared their Himalayan adventure with us. Four hardy teams shared their SKULLBONE experiences on a new website. And now the year is over... but not quite...
Crusoe Project and Skullbone
This year Expedition Class is running two massive adventure projects with, for and because of students in Tasmania and around Australia. The one just completed, online, in real time, with a downloadable workbook and teacher's guide was the Crusoe Project. It saw me surviving on a tropical island in Papua New Guinea for the month of August. Check back on the daily reports.
The second project is called Skullbone and is for four Tasmanian secondary schools, Ulverstone, Scottsdale, Ogilvie and Jordan River. Ten students from each school undertook four, one-week long expeditions to Skullbone Plains and the Tarkine. These expeditions were shared, just like the Crusoe Project, in real-time and online. Follow the students as they explored remote Tasmanian landscapes in October and November at the new Skullbone website.
