'Sutori' is an instruction and presentation tool that I was introduced to in this unit. This digital tool allows students to form creative and individualised presentations, incorporating a range of media such as images, video and audio. Learners can also add interactive functions to their presentations, including quizzes and forum posts. Once the presentation has been established, students have the ability to share it on social media platforms and use the link to post on sites such as blogs. 'Sutori' has a function which supports higher levels of learning which will benefit students greatly. Students have the ability to 'invite' their peers to their story, choosing between the two options 'can view and comment' and 'can edit and comment'. Students that are invited to 'view and comment' now have access to the presentation for educational purposes and communication means. This opens a form of networking which promotes students to engage in giving and receiving constructive feedback. The second option, 'can edit and comment', adds another dimension to the learning experience. Learners invited to engage in this function now have the ability to add to the presentation, forming a collaborative and connected network for group activities or open discussion. In the lesson sequence I prepared, Sutori will be utilised to create an individualised presentation using various forms of media and information. Students will construct a creative presentation that is relevant to them then use this digital tool to receive feedback and share with the class and teacher. Learners are becoming creators of individualised content using ICT, investigating a relevant topic, participating in peer feedback and engaging in an online community.

Public debates about the Australian Curriculum are arguably a sign of democracy at work. Suggesting that some things, such as Anzac Day, are sacred and beyond critical inquiry is not.

When the honour of Australia’s revered soldiers is questioned, so, too, is the national self-image. But war is an ugly business, and we pay a price for tethering it so tightly to our identity.

Reflecting on the wartime treatment of two Japanese Australians (or Nikkei) raises the spectre of our racist past - and can prompt us to consider the vulnerabilities of Asian Australians today.

War movies are an enduring genre, making hundreds of millions at the box office. With Anzac Day approaching, we ask: does Hollywood go too far in obscuring the true horrors of battle?
