Melinda's Favourite Sites
21st Century Learning Snapshot
A comprehensive site that you can get lost in for hours! Sign up for the newsletter for regular updates. As the site is so comprehensive, I will single out specific pages of interest later in this Smore.
CNPS2 Learning for Australian Curriculum
Another comprehensive site. Particularly good for units of work to use as starting points or inspiration for your programming. Email site owner for any documents that are password protected and she will provide you with the needed codes.
Get Smart
Copacabana P.S website has a bank of links and resources
NSW Syllabuses for the Australian Curriculum
Easy to access and the program builder can be a great resource to build, save and share your programs or units of work with other teachers

Resources for other KLAS
ABC Splash
Short video clips arranged into suggested stages available for a range of topics. Easy to search. Interactive games also available.

A resource that is getting better as teachers share their SMART notebook resources. Create a free account to search the resources, view, download and edit to suit your teaching needs.
TaLe
Easy to search by subject, stage and learning object required. You need to be logged into the portal to access teacher resources. New resources and lessons being added regularly.

This Smore is a trial to see if it is useful in assisting you with your teaching and learning programs. If you find it helpful and / or would like to suggest resources and links, please let me know and I will create the resource on a more regular basis - perhaps I'll aim for twice a term.
