My name is Zachary and I have made this site in May 2002 while I was in Year Five for a Society and Environment Assignment called ’Where We Live’. I was then educated by Open Access College – School of Distance Education.
My school was situated in Marden (a suburb of Adelaide), South Australia . I lived on a property on the Goyder Line, the Mid North Region of South Australia. It is North East of Adelaide, which as the crow flies is ~ a 100 km away from Adelaide.
I use to do my lesson on the phone in teleconferencing with my teacher and other students or over the Internet. Using computer software I could be in a virtual classroom with my teacher and other classmates.
