Digital Resources for Australian Schools
REDeLEARN is a research website for children that is safe, up-to-date and with age appropriate information aligned to the Australian Primary Curriculum.
Designed to be easy-to-use for children, REDeLEARN is a great resource for inquiry based learning. Aimed at students in years 3 - 7.
Built specifically to be a reliable resource to assist teachers in providing an engaging learning environment, with interactive fact boxes, quizzes, activities, glossaries, slideshows and videos.
While children often appear to be using the Internet well, teachers know that closer inspection of their search behaviour shows that they do not really know which sites are suitable for their age and level of information search experience.
REDeLEARN makes drilling down from the broad subject to the exact topic very simple, and moving around the website is also intuitive and hassle-free.
Each article has its own online glossary of words that are likely to be new to a number of young readers. These words are highlighted, and clicking on one of them will bring up a definition which is related to the way the word is being used in the context of that particular article. While REDeLEARN is not designed specifically to be a literacy resource, this spelling feature will make the articles useful for reading practice, as well as for information searching.
