Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

Alongside @FarezNajid , a local actor and game master, we wanted to create a template of an experience that educators can use as an activity frame that engages with media that is relevant to students, activities that deepen the learning, all while packaged in an engaging and immersive story.

Introducing... Surviving the Apocalypse!

Attached you will see two resources:

  • The Story Journal is meant for the educator, facilitating the activities.
  • The Survivor Journal is meant for students to use for the various activities.


In this version, there are three activities as examples:

  • Act 1: A resource management activity that requires participants to apply their critical thinking, collaboration, and time management skills.
  • Act 2: Planning a journey across locations that will force them to creatively problem-solve, apply their maths and geography knowledge.
  • Act 3: Practising communication through sending an important message that matters.

View in the comments for more links to educators’ creations to their respective subjects and topics.

I would like to use this in my Social Studies lesson perhaps in teaching about life during the Japanese Occupation. My students will be excited!

Thinking of how to link what I’ve learned today with special needs education for eg teaching social skills, reading, adapting to schools life.

The one thing I find really useful from this session is that tech is but a tool, the most important thing is to have a convincing narrative for the students to buy into and the tech will help to make the learning process even better. I’m particularly excited to think of ways to implement AR or even the use of keynote to create exciting lessons and allow my subject to come alive

create a story with AR tools to engage pupils.

Great to modify for use for a Maths Trail for a learning experience beyond the classroom.
