Time poor? Let Curriculum help you to be resource rich!

The Curriculum Resources Collection staff welcome students to come and browse, make a time to talk to staff about the resouces you can use in the classroom. Curriculum should be a first point of access when thinking about planning classroom based assessment tasks for your units of study and professional practice.

Must See Places

Triggers

Making connections is crucial. Your time is limited and you will need to use every resource you can to ensure that you get the most out of your teaching experiences. So here is a start:

Get to know your local library
- and save years of stress!
Visit the State Library of NSW
- face-to-face or online.
The State Library has a programme for
school visits, and links to great resources.
Need images to help stimulate a discussion?
Try flickr.com or Picture Australia!
Even better - grab a free video clip from Digital Resource Finder
Make the web work for you
Try Search and Subject Engines

Resources for teaching

The following are indicative sites, and are suggestions only. The web yields a number of valuable resources which can be used in the classroom, to get you and your students thinking. A note of warning - it also includes some very questionable material, so always ensure that you check the credibility of the organisation hosting the site. As K-6 teachers in training, it will also pay to visit the Board of Studies K-6 Website with links to useful sites.
