  4. This action research project is to encourage students to: access, collect and interpret electronic information using the Internet, Moodle & SSC Leichhardt Geog Blog Import data from other ICT applications into student research findings review models, make notes and gather secondary data on urban structure and process. design and create a simple database from student research use ABS - Sydney a Social Atlas 2006,ABS Community profile statistics,Google Maps, Google Street View • Maintain a record of all materials studied in a formatted, multiple-paged document containing web-links to communicate geographical information
