Curriculum Resources for the Twenty-First Century
– Finding Quality Online Curriculum Content for your Classroom

What is online curriculum content?

It encompasses all the curriculum resources that are available through the Internet - websites, databases, learning objects, online journals, free resources and those available by subscription, videos on demand, learning activities, curriculum projects, online research modules, webquests and more.

Finding quality, suitable, relevant material that suits your needs can be time consuming and frustrating. In this session you will look at some educational gateways that make this searching process easier and more efficient.

Intended Audience: Primary and secondary teachers
