to my website, however It is NO LONGER a work in progress...
I built this website while I was working to easily access many quality student friendly digital teaching resources.
For each site/activity I used selective criteria to choose suitable resources.
I retired at the end of 2017 but returned to casual work in mid 2019. I have much revision to do but not the time nor energy to get it all done. So, my apologies for dead links and out of date pages. I am gradually working my way through revisiting various webpages. I take no responsibility for changes that may have occurred.
This website is available to anyone who can use the resources for their children or in their own teaching.
If you find it helpful you are more than welcome to link to it.

DQ encompasses the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that are needed to thrive
as responsible members of the
online world,
and to be confident
in handling
the
challenges and demands
of the digital era.
Know students and how they
learn best!
“The most important thing we can teach our children is how they learn best and how to learn on their own.
Like the old adage, ‘If you feed someone they eat one meal, if you teach them to fish they can eat for life.’
Alverez, Steve. fishing.jpg. 7-2002.

Our students will need to know things during their lifetime that we can’t even imagine right now.
If we teach them how they learn best, they will always have the tools/skills to teach themselves. Sydney Gilbey, Windham Middle School Adapted by Audrey Nay after #googleeduonair-
