Potential resources for activity centers

Maths activity about numbers for 6-7 year olds. Potential authentic project - have older students create resources and/or learning center activities for younger children

I found this resource very helpful and quite comprehensive. I especially liked the Cyberbullying acronym G.E.T R.I.D. I think this concept would make a great poster to hang on the wall of my classroom when I am a teacher. It passes the C.R.A.P test (Gold, 2010) as it is current being copyrighted from 2006-2016 so I would assume it is updated quite regularly and relevant for the topic. It is reliable because it is supported by the Australian government, Murdoch children's research institute and the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne among others. The media collaborator is the ABC and it has won quite a few awards. There are no advertisements so I do not think there is any agenda and the information is not really biased in any way, it is quite factual and informative rather than opinionated. One negative that I found was that there are a few statistics mentioned but no reference to what study these statistic come from, making me wonder how reliable they really are. All in all a brilliant resource for understanding the concept of digital citizenship and cyberbullying. Thank you for posting it!

I agree, this website is great. I've found it really helpful in my research and it passes the CRAP test :)

I totally agree with previous comments, this has been very helpful for me as I research information on digital citizenship ;)

Fantastic website to integrate science, biology and the sustainability cross-curriculum priority into the classroom.
