These resources have been created for the online learning world. You may know some of the selected plays and some may be new. It’s always great to make discoveries. Whichever is the case, Australian Plays recommends that teachers access and read a script before selecting it for their students. Each script and the accompanying activities are designed as a mini unit of work or series of lessons for students to do solo, in pairs and in collaboration and take place over several days or more..

Kim Flintoff's insight:
Brought to our attention by Dr Megan Upton.   Engaging with Australian plays is engaging with the Australian voice.   The stories and perspectives identify elements of our identity and shared experience.

Flexible learning

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.

COVID-19 Demystified | learn-tech.io

COVID-19 Demystified | learn-tech.io | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it

STEM and policy aspects of COVID-19 made simple


To help us make sense of the crisis, learn-tech.io called on experts from around the world to help demystify COVID-19 in a short, practical course. COVID-19 Demystified has been developed for three key audiences. Firstly, the more than 1bn young people now shut out of classrooms who still seek education. Secondly, the wider public who are ‘drinking from a firehose’ of ‘news’. Information that frequently includes much disinformation and fake news. Thirdly, those decision makers and policy makers seeking to understand more about the challenges they face. Each of these audiences really needs opportunities to learn more about the pandemic both to protect their own lives and the lives of others. The scientific and mathematical complexity behind fighting COVID-19 means that many people lack tools to understand fully the impact of their own actions. Without such tools, misinformation and ignorance spread easily and can amplify negative effects of the pandemic. Those with no understanding of the science of the pandemic have sought to destroy 5G infrastructure, or adopt false cures bringing risk and harm to themselves. Some have adopted blame and hatred rather than nurtured their own understanding. The Demystification team hopes that this course will aid understanding and ultimately it will aid the fight against COVID-19. We all hope COVID 19 Demystified could be a key weapon in our fight against the pandemic and its effects.

Kim Flintoff's insight:
"It is intended that COVID-19 Demystified aids our fight against the virus. It offers practical ways to gain analytical skills and knowledge enabling more people to make their own sense of the pandemic. With a set of data and models that a user can examine and investigate, each of us can model strategies for mitigation, understand better why different strategies are being followed and come to their own conclusions regarding the wisdom of different government strategies."

ACMI: Education is the primary source that I had used to develop my mini-unit plan. This resource, in particular, influenced how I constructed my mini-unit plan around English and the Media. This source gave insight into how I could redefine English studies, making it more relevant and engaging to students of the 21st century. From this resource, I was also able to understand how English studies could reach the redefinition level of the SAMR model, which, in turn, generated various ideas.

Joshua Krause's curator insight, May 11, 2020 8:39 PM
YouTube is increasingly becoming an extremely important resource for teachers and students alike. It is disappointing however some schools disallow students access though the schools network when it can allow students so much learning content right at their fingertips. Especially for high level mathematics concepts, having something explained by someone else may resonate more with different students. I myself have picked up different things from different videos when working on mathematics problems.
Arran McLeod's curator insight, May 25, 2020 8:05 PM
Wow what a great resource, for so many different reasons. Having something like this in high school could've saved me a lot of money instead of paying tutors for help. If schools put more thought into implementing YouTube into pedagogy I think it would be very beneficial to students. The learning of students could be further continued and reinforced by watching these in a classroom setting then practicing the work, while the teacher can help the students who need it most, instead of being spread out thin over 30 odd students. The fact that this is free and is easily accessible is a godsend. Maths teachers should consider creating videos of their work for the class to re-watch. This would be especially helpful with preparing for exams and would take some stress of teachers trying to reply to emails and such.
