The QT Kids website provides teachers and students with a valuable ICT learning tool and resource that can be used as the focus of an integrated unit of work on the topic Transport.

The website has been designed with a target audience of year levels four and five (8-10 years) however, some of the content and activities can be used with younger and older students. An enquiry-based integrated unit of work is the core component of the website. The Essential Learnings from all Key Learning Areas are addressed with ICTs embedded throughout the site.

The website and the integrated unit will provide all the learning experiences, resources and assessment tasks necessary to implement an entire unit on transport -from the past through to the present day, and into the future. Assessment tasks and associated rubrics are aligned with the Queensland Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework (QCARF).

The website recognises that learners learn in different ways, in different settings and at different rates. Many of the learning experiences provided can be used to consolidate understandings and use of digital literacies. The unit has been designed to take into consideration the learning preferences of middle phase learners.

Due to computer access issues and network overloading, teachers may consider using the interactive games in small group sessions. This will alleviate problems that may arise when too many students are trying to access the same games. For those who do not have Adobe Flash installed, a non-flash version of the site is available through the links at the bottom of the home page.
