Activity
Description
A
small teddy bear was given to the class as artifact. The bear
was to travel to each of the children's houses in turn to
'interview' someone in the household with a faith position.
The children had developed a set of questions for bear to
ask in the houses using some mind-mapping software called
Freemind.
Once the questions were developed these were transferred to
TB's blog.
The
children then took TB home and introduced him to the person
of faith in their household. They could make notes, take pictures,
capture audio or video as part of the video. They were then
expected to complete the entry on the blog and to comment
on at least one other entry on the blog.
