In particular the videos we watched of the huts made, and the rivers with brocades for the water to flow in, formed from the volcanic eruption, I'm pretty sure.

Along with that, due to assessment task 2 "should uluru be reopened" i was able to learn the true importance of sacred culture in aboriginal culture, focusing in on "sacred" before this class it honestly didn't mean much to me or even make me think twice, but ever since completing the assessment my understanding of sacred culture has vastly improved

in summary, i was given the opportunity to research and learn about things i wouldn't normally learn about... and i'm very glad i had the opportunity to do so.]]> 2021-05-24 03:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552435403 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552436757 It's been valuable to learn about the darker aspects of the Aussie mythos, like the reality of the egalitarian "fair go" Australia. It was also fascinating to learn about Aboriginal oral history extending back with remarkable accuracy to thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. I didn't think that it was even possible, and a part of me still can't quite wrap my head around it. 

Assessment 3 was a good pointer to direct me to learn more about Australia and my chosen topic. Assessment 2 was excellent in that respect as well. Encouraging independent research is important. When I started the assessment, I thought I would have the opposite viewpoint to the one I ended up writing.

In terms of what I'd change, I think I'd prefer focusing on the contemporary situation a little more and looking more outwards to see our place in the world with a clearer lens.]]> 2021-05-24 03:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552436757 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552438185 it was interesting to learn more about how Aboriginal people live and about their connection to the land. The 2nd assessment really made me think about how little I knew about their connection to the land and how sacred Uluru is to them and how closing the climb will help to preserve their culture. I enjoyed learning more about the Stolen Generation and the mistreatment of Indigenous people at the time. It was especially informative to hear about it from those who actually experienced this by watching the testimonies in week 4. ]]> 2021-05-24 03:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552438185 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552439690 I enjoyed learning about the variety of history in Australia, and the influence external events had on individuals. It gives more context to some issues that continue today, as well as insight into how the generalise "Australian" culture came to be.

The materials were really useful and was easy to argue about.]]> 2021-05-24 03:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552450376 brooketaylor101001 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1552457930 I thoroughly enjoyed learning more in depth about Australian history and the Aboriginal culture. I feel as though I will be able to become a better teacher with the knowledge I acquired throughout this class.

Australia's founding as a supposed egalitarian society is definitely something that stood out for me as I research alot of Australian labour history and how this affected the first settlers and convicts. I realised how much their character influences contemporary Australia in our mannerisms and especially the anti-authoritarian views. I also enjoyed the classes on the First Nations people of this continent and how their struggle for land rights still continues.

I also enjoyed the study of Aboriginal people and culture, land right, stolen generation and how they are deeply connected to their land. ]]> 2021-05-26 04:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1560215502 lucasfilms413 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1560217847 I believe that what I took away the most from this subject is that there is more to australia than most people percieve it, and how it's role in an international perpsective has changed drastically over the past 200 years, I also throughly enjoyed the discussions that occured between the students and teachers and the constant interjections by phil. I think going away from this subject I would be inclined to have a more respectful and evidential view on australian history unlike previously where i thoguht it was quite a dull and close to useless topic to discuss]]> 2021-05-26 04:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1560217847 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1560231483 I have learned a lot about Australia history, and it’s really good for me because I grew up in Taiwan as a Australian citizen. So I don’t know much about how Australia grow. The lesson about Uluru was very interesting that I actually been there and  The timing was it about to close for visitors to clamp. I really enjoy this unit.]]> 2021-05-26 04:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1560231483 https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/6b1lrvjycnz1p49p/wish/1563170383 Australian studies this term has been an amazing experience for me, I've really enjoyed learning about how Australia has developed over the years, and I'm thankful to have such amazing teachers to have taught me Australian studies this term, and ive learnt a heap from.
