Today, at the forum on Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age, being hosted by the Sesame Workshop at Google headquarters, we are announcing the launch of a major new research initiative in digital media and learning (DML) and its associated website. Based at the University of California Humanities Research Institute in Irvine, California, the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub is generously supported by the MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Initiative. The Research Hub, for which I serve as Executive Director and Mimi Ito the Research Director, intersects work promoting and networking collaborative efforts to understand and assess the participatory ways in which digital media are transforming youth learning practices and lifelong learning opportunities.… more

HomeShare buyers will also receive a $500 contribution from the Tasmanian Government towards legal costs associated with the purchase of their home.

The Interactive Mathematics Classroom |
-
Students learn mathematics by DOING mathematics, and not by watching someone else do mathematics. In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of high quality digital resources available from the Net and elsewhere that allow students to investigate, explore or consolidate the topics they are learning in their maths class.
Over time, it is hoped that this website will become a one-stop shop for quality interactive digital resources for mathematics education.
Currently there are over four hundred sixty quality resources and links available from this website. Have a browse and take away what you wish.
-
This website is also now the home of Queensland Maths. Most high schools in Central Queensland have Promethean ActivBoard interactive whiteboards, so this is a place for the teachers to share their maths flipcharts and other resources.
