Scootle

Scootle: a one stop shop for online curriculum content.

 

Learn, teach and collaborate using digital resources to support the Australian Curriculum. 

The Le@rning Federation (TLF) has developed Scootle, a website to allow jurisdictions to give their teachers a quick, approachable way to find and use digital curriculum content in their classrooms, and their school leaders a means to oversee this usage and draw on it for future school-level planning.
Scootle helps educators to provide individualised learning to cater to students’ diverse needs, facilitate collaborative student learning and create additional means for teacher collaboration within a school.
What is Scootle?
Scootle (www.scootle.edu.au) is a ‘one stop shop’ that contains more than 7800 items of digital curriculum content from The Le@rning Federation. It provides easy ways to find, organise and use this material. TLF’s digital curriculum content includes:

• learning objects: interactive, multimedia resources designed for Australian and New Zealand curricula
• digital resources: items sourced from Australia and New Zealand's premier cultural institutions that may be a section of moving image footage; an image of a document, line drawing, painting, or map; a photograph; an audio file of a song or broadcast
• teaching and assessment resources: assessment objects, teaching notes and assessment ideas to support the digital curriculum content.

This material is indexed using the subject headings of the Schools Online Thesaurus, an agreed Australian and New Zealand vocabulary of curriculum topics and terms for educators. Search results can be viewed on timelines and Google maps, providing new ways for teachers to discover relevant resources, and also to construct challenging learning experiences for students.

I highly recommend every member of staff to register for this resource, it is FREE and contains a wealth of opportunity for your learning environment.
