I came across this site while searching “aboriginal education”. It is a site designed and maintained by the Western New South Wales Regional Aboriginal Education Team and James Cook University in Australia. It is a pedagogical framework for teachers to be able to teach Aboriginal students in a meaningful way. It discusses and has resources about Aboriginal perspectives and how to include them into the core curriculum that is set by the school boards and governments.

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.
