New South Wales Aboriginal Ed
Here’s a site from the New South Wales Government in Australia. It is dedicated to Aboriginal Education. It provides examples of context-based teaching and learning projects to be used. It is obvious that the values of the Aboriginal people are considered. They address Aboriginal art and languages, and contextualize math, science, and literature for the students.

21st Century Schools Website
While researching for my term paper I came across the 21st Century Schools Website. This US-Based , but globally intended, Website advocates for a “new paradigm” in education. They believe that although the tools of modern technology are available for collaborative/innovative learning, they are not currently used to their fullest.
If you navigate to the “What is 21st Century Education? Tab, you’ll find a good description of the site and what it seeks to accomplish. Scroll down this page to find a great summary table (image below) of the differences between 20th Century education and 221st Century education. After that, check out the “Curriculum and Instruction” and “Resources” tabs for many interesting and useful links.
