Has some relevant curriculum materials for Australian history, however I can't help but feel that this kind of thing is like a shining brand-new horse-drawn carriage at the beginning of the twentieth century, unknowing that it has already been superseded...

Anthology of Australian literature.

This is a record of the proceedings of the Old Bailey in London from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. Very useful for a study of poverty and crime in Britain during the Empire or even the convicts that every single Australian believes they are descended from.

This is a helpful overview of the senior years Australian National Curriculum course being introduced by ACARA, prepared by Annabel. Thanks Annabel!

Good example of using an LMS (Learning Management System [cool jargon to know!]) for a class. My school uses Moodle and BlackBoard is popular at Australian universities. I organise mine by lesson and direct the students to go through the materials before the lesson, usually podcasts, PowerPoints, links to a source site, etc, depending on what materials I'm using for the lesson. After the lesson I put the podcast of it up there for the students to use for revision, along with the notes they've taken during that lesson. Much more effective than a textbook, I reckon!

A collection of resources on ANZAC which might be useful for classroom activities with younger students.
