Aussie Educator

Welcome

Welcome to Aussie Educator. We hope you are able to find the information, or a link to the information you are seeking, via this site.
We have endeavoured to include not only a core of essential information and links to matters educational, but also a range of other information which is also educational in the broader sense of the word.
As you can tell from the number of links [top, left], we are continually adding to the site. If you have any suggestions, or other thoughts, or knowledge of changes to links about which you are aware, please take the time to tell us.

What’s Different ?

The ACT Department of Education and Training is transferring to a new site. We have now completed the transfer of relevant links, as previously indicated, though there are still some minor adjustments being made. If you wish to search for another aspect, use the Departmental Home Page link to provide a starting point.

In addition, the following specific modifications have been made with this update :

A range of pages, core and other, have been link-checked, ‘dead’ links removed, updated and several expanded [see below];
A further new page has been added. This stems from the previous Australian History page which now has links and acts as a portal for specific aspects of Australian History. Access the new Australian History page via this link. The new page is Australian Culture [which also includes information on Australian Identity]. Some pages still have to be developed. No links have been lost from the original page and a redirect has been posted and will remain for a short period of time to allow for adjustments to people’s link listings.
Several pages, including those for Aboriginal Education, Parental Involvement and Early Learning Resources, have had significant additions;
The Teriary Entry Options page has been revamped and re-formatted. We hope it proves simpler and easier to use and benefit from;
We mentioned the Olympics page last update. This page has now been included, which provides about four months before the games to make whatever use is possible of the contents. While the page is already extensive, we will continue to add further suitable links as we near the actual date, as we believe many more sites will come on line during this period.
A link has been added to the main menu [to the left] for the duration of this period;
The Calendar continues to be updated [and expanded] as far as possible. The link has also been moved to the ‘Special Pages’ section of the menu on the left;
Make sure you check information on the latest AYAD Youth Ambassador positions, which are open for application between 25 April and 30 May. Initial information can be found at the AYAD Youth Ambassador page on Aussie Educator.

Aboriginal Languages of Australia

- ‘There are more than 200 Australian Indigenous languages. Less than 20 languages are strong, and even these are endangered: the others have been destroyed, live in the memories of the elderly, or are being revived by their communities. This site has annotated links to 231 resources for about 80 languages. About 35% of these resources are produced or published by Indigenous people.’
Individual language sites can be accessed alphabetically, while you can also access information by type [e.g. overviews, dictionaries, courses, sounds, texts, and now blogs] or by state groupings. Additional, simple to understand help about the site is provided. Each of the link connections is briefly annotated to assist you in making the appropriate choice.
This has to be one of the best sites related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages available on the web.
