DairyNZ has all the learning and teaching MOOOVES!

Have you struggled to find up-to-date curriculum-based learning materials to support student inquiry based round the New Zealand dairy industry?

If this is so, then it is time to discover the recently launched Go Dairy education website , where you’ll find interactive resources for students, and a raft of supporting materials to assist teachers with creating engaging and active learning experiences. 

The website contains digital texts, digital learning objects as well as annotated and leveled links to other sites.  All of these are supported with downloadable teaching plans, fact sheets and suggestions for using the tools embedded within the resources.  DairyNZ will even help you to find a local farmer to support your class study.

Currently Levels 1 and 2 are available, with materials for all other primary/intermediate levels set to be in place by the end of 2012. If the children in your school think that milk comes from the supermarket – then this site is a great place to start.
