Rationale
   
 
One of the Essential Learnings is Personal Futures of which Maintaining Wellbeing is an outcome. This year, 2005, all Tasmanian schools are reporting on Maintaining Wellbeing. To assist teachers with their evaluation, I ran a competition which asked the question, How are you looking after yourself? Students had been working on this question all term and the competition was a way for teachers to firstly, assess what learning had occurred and secondly, to give real life context to the Kahootz skills just learnt.
   
Student Tasks
   
    Students needed to list ways they were looking after themselves including physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and social dimensions of wellbeing.
Students then had to make an Xpression that showed how they were taking care of themselves.

Involvement for Xpression Participant
   
 
From previous class activities and discussion, make a list of dimensions of wellbeing.
Make a list of how they are looking after themselves.
Create an Xpression showing the dimensions.
Share Xpression with others to develop the richness of their list further.
   
Each participant needs to:
   
   
Use the rubric to evaluate and develop their list of ideas in the Xpression to ensure all aspects are included.
Use the rubric to ensure all Kahootz features are used.
Make a cover page for their Xpression to include their name, class and title.
   
Learning Outcomes for Student Creator
   
   
Confirm their knowledge, understanding and ability to use all the Kahootz features.
Learn new ways of using Kahootz by viewing and decoding other student's work.
Show understanding of how they are looking after themselves in all aspects of wellbeing.
At the conclusion of the learning sequence, know more about their own lifestyle and how they are looking after themselves.
Students show they can transfer knowledge to other learning sequences.
   
Collaborative Potential
   
   
As four classes were involved it allowed the sharing of different aspects of wellbeing and use of the Kahootz software. Even those Xpressions that weren't loaded because they weren't finished had elements that were shared between students.
Students developed their understanding of different dimensions of wellbeing, talking about things they hadn't considered.
As all schools are required to report on this Outcome, sharing with other schools is a possibility.
