<p>It’s said that one of the best ways of learning is to teach somebody else what you know, and that’s exactly what the Year 6 students at Denman Public School in the Hunter have done.</p>
<p>Keen to make the most of tablets donated by the P&;C’s fundraising efforts, the students have produced a number of tutorials and uploaded them to YouTube for the benefit of their younger peers.</p>
<p>Principal Megan Druitt said the project has been a great success across the school’s year groups.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“The senior students have exercised their IT skills, learnt new ones, brushed up on their presentation and developed teamworking skills focused on the ‘WALT’ principle – What We Are Learning Today,” she said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>“The younger students have taken up the tutorials through a medium they like using and are eager to explore, and have got fresh insights into what’s possible in the senior years and how they can develop their learning.”</p>
<p>The students are already planning to develop more sophisticated tutorials from their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/735742499937816/posts/1178011995710862?sfns=mo">original maths video</a> in more subject areas, learning as they go and helping the younger classes do the same.</p>
