ABC Splash is a new education website for Australia, packed with 100s of videos, audio clips and games. Totally free to watch and play at home and in school.

I follow lots of Tedtalks in my podcast feeds, but every now and then I visit the education specific website to browse for talks on topics that may help introduce or complete a unit with my grades.

Agreed! Thanks for sharing the link, Geoff. I've marked this assignment as complete on Lore for you.

This site has some interesting ideas about 'flipping'. I wonder if anyone has used this with students yet?

If you are interested in putting together tutorial videos or screenshot guides then here are some free tools to get you started.

Gooru is a new service (still carrying the Alpha label) that aims to provide teachers and students with an extensive collection of videos, interactive displays, documents, diagrams, and quizzes for learning about topics in math and science.

A great Search Engine site, but with more features such as a Library of resource organised by subject area. Unfortunately very U.S. based, but for some subjects that wouldn't matter.

The science dept at school has just started experimenting with creating units on gooru - so far they are impressed! Thanks for sharing the link. I've marked this assignment as complete on Lore for you.

The Khan Academy has approximately 3,500 videos all free to use. Fabulous for Science and Mathematics with some other subjects catered for as well.

The Khan Academy has generated a lot of discussion in education. The academy supplies a wealth of resources However... do these resources contribute to good teaching and learning?

This amazing site has a wealth of interesting material. "About Us: British Pathé is one of the oldest media companies in the world. Their roots lie in 1890s Paris where their founder, Charles Pathé, pioneered the development of the moving image. They were established in London in 1902, and by 1910 were producing their famous bi-weekly newsreel the Pathé Gazette. After the First World War they started producing various Cinemagazines as well. By 1930 they were producing the Gazette, the Pathetone Weekly, the Pathé Pictorial and Eve's Film Review, covering entertainment, culture and womens' issues. By the time Pathé finally stopped producing the cinema newsreel in 1970 they had accumulated 3500 hours of filmed history amounting to over 90,000 individual items. Over the last 30 years this material has been used extensively around the world in television programmes, home videos, advertisments, corporate productions and, most recently, in web publishing."

Fantastic site I'd forgotten about. Thanks for sharing with the group, I've marked Assignment 2 as complete on Lore for you.

Free resources for Primary and Secondary schools. All linked to the Australian Curriculm. Excellent use of videos.

A wonderful new resource from the ABC. Thanks for posting the link, Julia. I've marked the Diigo Assignment as complete for you

Melbourne venue for author talks, discussions on wide range of topics to do with books

Indeed, a great place!

One of the resources we (my TL hat on now) use from Wheeler Centre is for VCE English students - "Texts in the City" sessions - videos from past years are online. Thanks for sharing. I've marked this assignment as complete on Lore.
