The Water Warriors unit is based on a constructivist approach as students work collaboratively, use a variety of resources to construct knowledge, teacher facilitates discussion and offers advice and prompts, students are engaged, real world issues and authentic topics are covered and students participate in reflective discussion and activities. During the lesson and in process reflection for each lesson plan to have integrate ICT to be used in classroom, some framework could apply to measured the success of the student learning experiences. (Zoe's blog where she explained the context)


Water Warriors is an engaging unit as the topic is authentic (Hand, n.d.), the content is age appropriate (Department of Environment and Resource Management, 2010) and students participate in activities such as drawing, finding hidden items, playing games, watching videos and using PowerPoint presentations. By engaging students in their learning they are more likely to be successful academically and achieve the learning goals of understanding about water and using it carefully (Mandla, 2003).
