For Teachers | Education Paralympics Australia | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it
From education.paralympic.org.au - May 3, 2020 10:16 PM
A range of captivating lesson plans are ready for you to explore the history of the Paralympic movement in Australia and abroad, Paralympic values and a range of Para-sports. All lesson plans are linked to the Australian Curriculum and don’t require any specialist equipment, so they are easy to implement in the classroom (or at home). Our resources focusing on the Paralympics in Australia are aimed at primary school students but can be adapted to a range of learning contexts. The I’mPOSSIBLE resources include lesson plans, worksheets and PowerPoint presentations for both primary and secondary teachers. These lesson plans can be used individually or to form a unit of work.

Bebras Mini Challenges, like Bebras 365, are available as a free, easy-access resource throughout the year. Bebras Mini Challenges and do not require a student or teacher login to access and students will receive a grade upon completion of the questions. These challenges are shorter than Bebras 365 with a focus on one particular Computational Thinking skill. Bebras Mini Challenges have been divided into three categories: primary school students, middle school students and senior secondary students.The primary category is recommended for students in years 3-5, middle school for students in years 6-8, and senior secondary for students in year 9 and above. These age groupings are a suggestion only, and we encourage students to challenge themselves by attempting different question sets.

Flexible learning

From www.slideshare.net - April 20, 2020 10:24 PM
FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Flexible Learning Getting started with Flexible Learning and Blackboard
Kim Flintoff's insight:
This was put together back in 2012 - assuming it was totally redundant by now, it was left to languish in a repository at Slideshare... but it might hold some interest: 

Despite the mention of humanities it reflects a wholistic approach to planning, creating, delivering and assessing in a flexible manner in any discipline.

It reflects its original context but carries all the thinking behind flexible learning engagement in broad terms.

Inanimate Alice - Inanimate Alice

Inanimate Alice - Inanimate Alice | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it
From inanimatealice.com - April 5, 2020 8:18 PM

Classrooms around the world are now using Inanimate Alice as an across-the-curriculum approach to teaching and learning.

Inanimate Alice tells the story of a girl growing up dreaming of becoming a game designer one day. Uniquely, it is a tale of progressive complexity, each episode reflecting Alice’s age and digital competency as she grows up. 


 First meet Alice age 8, drawing a stickman and taking photos to send to her Dad. Grow up beside her through school and college during which time she hones her artistic and technological skills, relentlessly pursuing her dream. 


 Classrooms around the world are now using Inanimate Alice as an across-the-curriculum approach to teaching and learning. This is a story for teachers and students who wish to explore the nature of ‘born digital’ narratives. Free from the constraints of print formats, the text becomes dynamic, driving the story forwards, and the ambient sounds complement the immersive nature of the story. 


 The format targets students 10-14 years of age: colourful magazine pages attract younger students, while the later episodes explore more complex themes. Resources and activities help teachers integrate Inanimate Alice into the curriculum. 


 This is a story of exploration. An adventure. Take a look at the timeline of Alice’s adventures and find the best place to start for you.

Kim Flintoff's insight:
Inanimate Alice will be well-known to many Australian educators - Education Services Australia was a longtime champion of this platform and there are many teaching resources available to support its use.  

Inanimate Alice is a member of the Learning Futures Network.

Game Changer Awards

Game Changer Awards | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it
From www.gamechangerawards.com.au - March 28, 2020 7:30 PM
The Game Changer Awards is an opportunity for teachers and their students who are interested in STEM, to create solutions to the worlds challenges, and compete at a state level for amazing prizes. There are four age categories for Year 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, and 9 and 10 students. In each age group, there are then prizes for students and their teachers for Best use of STEM, Best overall Project and Best Presentation. Students work on their projects throughout the year, with the support of their Teachers, and come together on Game Day, to present them to the judges. The teams are also given the opportunity to showcase their projects to the families and other teachers, as well as industry and government representatives. In the tradition of science fairs, we encourage students to unleash their inner innovator to create projects aimed at developing and utilising STEM skills, including project based learning, organisation, teamwork and presentation skills. We currently have 78 teams registered to take part in 2019, and we plan to expand even further in 2020, to take the awards to all parts on WA.
Kim Flintoff's insight:
While working online to teach and learn it is also important to remember that we still need to come together to acknowledge and celebrate the learning.

You can enrol as many students from your school as you wish. All students will need to pair up with a classmate or someone they know at school or in their community, so they can work side-by-side. Each pair will then meet and join up with a pair of students from anywhere else in the world. Ideally all teams should have 4 students. Teams can have as many advisors and helpers as they wish, but only four students will be the officially recognised team.
