Through research you can make history. WW1 Researcher: Australia explores six case studies of people who served in the Australian army in WW1. The app gives you an idea of what your research of a local soldier or nurse might look like.
WW1 Researcher: Australia explores the significance of World War 1 in Australia and is linked to Year 9 History; the Australian Curriculum and the 2017 Victorian Curriculum.
The key concepts of historical sources as evidence, perspectives and empathy are directly linked to local contexts.
Other features of the app include sequencing events chronologically and investigating cause and effect through aspects such as enlistment and the impact of the war on families.
The app encourages the development and application of historical skills through research of local communities in Australia.
