Description: This learning object allows students to generate idea, plans and processes using multi-media resources. All the topics within the learning object allows teachers to choose from a range of activities to assist students in their understanding of history. It focuses on ways in which students can incorporate their own perceptions of the past with the knowledge they absorb from the activities explored throughout this learning object. It makes them aware of the many aspects of the past compared to those of the present day, and anticipating what it will be like in the future. It gives students an opportunity to take part in activities which allows them to watch videos about life in the past, arranging pictures chronologically on someone else's timeline, creating their own life timeline, visit a virtual school museum, explore classroom environments of the 80's and 90's and investigate the many different types of equipment and appliances that have been used in past and compare them to equipment and appliances of the present day. It gives students an opportunity to indicate differences and similarities between the lives of people in the past, and the lives of themselves in the current era making connections between the differences and similarities of these various times in history.

The strategies to achieve the learning goal: This learning object makes students aware of orderly fashions, everyday terms used today with those used in the past, examine both visual and physical representations of changing technologies, fashion and kitchen appliances. At the conclusion of this learning object exploration, students should be able to learn how to recognise certain ways in which appliances and their uses have changed over time, ultimately generating the acquired information needed to operate appliances and technology of today. By having this acquired knowledge of how these many technologies work, they can put it to great use in their own homes. Strategies to reiterate these skills which they have just learned in the learning object would mean that they could relate this information learned to a real life setting. By getting the students involved in these activities, its making them more aware of the various aspects of history and how technologies and the functions of life have evolved. By having a general understanding of the many changes that have occurred, they will be able to make informed decisions and adapt to the required life skills that are needed today. In order for students to get a head start on how to use the information learnt, teachers could set out a number of classroom activities similar to those in the modules. Students could then experience what an old blender looked like, how life was like in the 80's, and how difficult it was to get around with the different modes of transport. After exploring this online learning object, students should have gained a substantial understanding of strands of historical knowledge, historical content, and historical skills.
Throughout the investigation of this learning object, students should be able to use the ICT to classify, record, and categorize textual and graphic information. They should be able to effectively colour code and draw on sequential techniques used in certain software. They should be able to discover, make and access information from an array of digital sources from experimenting in this stimulating environment: the environment being participating in the exploration of the learning object. The digital information presented in this learning object appears to be useful because students should be able to easily navigate data and information for learning all about the goal; past, present and future family life.
