How to access at OLD
Let X know when you are ready for your students to use this resource. Teacher and student logins will then be created.
Initially children will have access only to Level 1. Once they complete Level 1 they are rewarded with a certificate on the lounge room wall which can be printed. Subsequent levels become unlocked as previous levels are completed, building on previous knowledge, skills and strategies.
Start by clicking on the photo frame to personalise your character, click save, and then click on the map to access levels. Once a level is completed you can display the child’s awards by clicking on the wall handing or parent/carer sheets on the bookshelf. You can leave the game at any point and your progress and character will be saved.
