Interdisciplinary learning is when you use your knowledge and skills from two different subjects and combine them together to create a good final product. As part of my Interdisciplinary learning we as Year 9 took our knowledge from the two subjects: IT and French, to create a website suitable for the Year 7's to use. I created a website where the Year 7's could come and learn three different topics that they might have or might not have learnt in school and the website that I created would help them boost their grades. This website is a useful invention that I created as the Year 7's in their free time could use this website to learn more French that could help them in school and it would be something similar to what they are already learning. The website that I created would help the Year 7 students because I included three different activities which were the Comprehension, Dialogue between two people and the vocabulary test which were the things that our teacher set us to do. We did these activities based on topics that the Year 7's would learn throughout the course of the year and they are all basic as the Year 7's are new to the language. The different topics were Family, Introducing Yourself and Classroom Objects and Colors. This website teaches them about these topics and they would be tested by the quizzes I created based on the topic each consisting of 10 questions that they would be able to do and it would help them for what they are doing in French class. I enjoyed most learning how to use wix which was the website I used to create my website and it was fun to see how it worked an how hard it is for people to put websites together. It was also fun to see that the website was online and published and that people would use something that I have created. The challenging tasks that I encountered during this unit were deciding on the designs and the templates I would use to create the website and how I would make it look attractive and good and easy to use for the Year 7's. To improve my website further, I could have maybe added more activities if our French teacher had let us do that. I would also make sure that there would be more pictures. I would also make sure the quiz works properly and they are the correct quizzes for the people to answer in the end. The benefits of Interdisciplinary learning is that you can use your skills from two different subjects and you can create something really good in the end. The skills like creating a website in IT or writing text and making questions in French and you can put those two together to create something usable. The limitations of interdisciplinary learning is that if you are not able to do something in one subject than what you were planning to make for that subject would not happen. It happened to me during this unit because I wanted to add many activities on my website in IT but in French our teacher only allowed us to do 3 and we could only put those on our website. As an interdisciplinary learner I benefited a lot because I now know how the unit would work and now I know what my strengths are in both the subjects and now I know that in the future I need to make sure everything I plan to do would happen. This interdisciplinary unit helped me understand that you can link subjects together and study and use your knowledge and skills in both subjects to create an amazing final project.
