Scootle

SCOOTLE

enables direct access to the resources and provides sophisticated browse, search and filter technologies to find over 7,500 interactive learning objects, images, audio files and movie clips.
The biggest advantage of these resources is that they are Australian designed and created for Australian curriculum and they are all FREE. Scootle has been updated from the previous Learning Federation site which in the past we have been able to access via myinternet.
Details on how to access Scootle
  • Please contact Adrian Brown from the CEC  @ Adrian.Brown@cecnsw.catholic.edu.au – he will need your school’s principal to send him an email nominating the person within the school who is going to manage access to SCOOTLE (I would assume in the majority of cases this will be the Learning Technologies Coordinator) Please ensure that the principal includes the email address of this person.  Also please ensure that the email address is and .edu.au address.  This will assist in the authentication process.
  • Once the principal has sent an email with the details of the school manager of scootle, that person will have an administrator account set up and can then manage scootle for the rest of the school. The administration of scootle is extremely straight forward.
All the resources found within scootle are also available in myclasses. You simply go to your class page and choose ‘add a property’ and search for the name of the resource you found in Scootle, just as you would have with Learning Federation resources in the past.

A manual about Scootle can be downloaded from the SCOOTLE site


Adrian has created a small movie about registering other members of staff so that they can use Scootle. It begins with the email Adrian sends when he registers a school.
If you have any questions about this setup Adrian’s phone number is 0439991514.
