THE TASK
The students were set the task of designing and
creating a promotional product, complete with a supporting oral
presentation, to promote one of the states of Australia to international
or interstate visitors. They compared and analysed different promotional
materials and used the resulting criteria to inform their own design.
Relevant information, including text and images, was identified,
selected and organised prior to design of the product. Draft products
were critiqued using the criteria by peers and tourism commission
reps. Oral presentations were crafted and the products launched
to a live audience.
ICT ENRICHMENT
-
Web-based promotional materials could be
compared with print and TV advertising.
-
Tourism reps supported students and critiqued
their work via email.
-
Students selected ICT appropriate to completing
their chosen task. Students used presentation software, word
processors or desk-top publishing software.
-
Digital products could be burned to CD and
shared easily with tourism reps, local travel agents and the
parent community.
