**The Explore Stage**
This phase allows students to acquire a common set of experiences that they can use to help each other make sense of the new concept or skill.


 * Glogstar**

During the explore stage students might be able to utilise Glogstar and create their very own digital poster. Through researching information, students can create an engaging and eye catching poster but also can include other digital resources such as video clips which they may create through imovie.

**Lesson Idea's**
 * Students will be given a certain earthquake to research and create a digital poster through Glogstar. They will be put in 5 different groups and those groups will be given different earthquakes to research and find some key facts. They will then create a poster __each__. Students will only be given one lesson to finish this task as it is not a huge task to complete. Students who do not get it finished will have to get it finished in their own time.

=
In the //Investigating and designing// dimension, students identify ideas, problems, needs, wants and opportunities. A design brief can be a starting point or it can be developed to clearly define the idea, problem, need, want or opportunity and requirements for a solution. Students undertake research and investigation to identify the human, material, equipment, and/or energy resources available to meet the idea, problem, need, want or opportunity. =====

=
Students combine practical and design skills with knowledge, skills and behaviours from other domains to select and record creative methods of generating and depicting design possibilities and options. They devise a plan to outline the processes involved in making a product, and select and justify the option that best meets the requirements of the design brief. =====
