iiNet 1000 Hour Day Expedition - Website Promotional Video

April 1, 2008

In July 2005, two young Aussies Chris Bray and Clark Carter plunged inside the Arctic Circle to travel unsupported across Victoria Island, the world’s ninth largest and largely unexplored island. After 58 days of hauling, paddling and dragging 250kgs of gear behind them in their home-made aluminium kayaks with fold-down wheels, they were only 1/3 the way across! It was such an incredible adventure though - including wolves, polar bears, artefacts, blizzards and unseen landscapes - that they vowed to return. After two years of thought, The iiNet 1000 Hour Day Expedition is shaping up for May 2008.

Working with Australian teachers, their principle partner iiNet is helping them bring to life the educational side of the expedition - providing material online for teachers and students to spice up their lessons this year!

Tirelessly put together by Australian Teacher of The Year nominee Emidio Boto, there are 37 lessons, falling into the eight key ‘Learning Areas’ identified in the modern curriculum, complete with background notes, outcomes, supplementary material and activities, all tied into exciting aspects of the expedition to create a memorable and motivating way to learn.
