ProjectBritain.com - A resource of British Life and Culture in the UK by Woodlands Junior ARKive Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. As a small conservation charity, Wildscreen eventually reached the point where it could no longer financially sustain the ongoing costs of keeping Arkive free and online or invest in its much needed development. Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.

Games at PrimaryGames | Free Online Kids Games | The Fun Place to Learn! Trio | Trio Professional Learning A good friend of TRIO, who writes our cultural perspectives lessons, has raised our awareness of cultural events from around the world. So when we saw, Lin Yi’s Lantern A Moon Festival Tale by Brenda Williams and Benjamin Lacombe at the NSW Art Gallery yesterday we had to buy it. We love the book but were also impressed by the publisher. Barefoot Books say they celebrate art and story with their publications. A visit to their website revealed a wealth of wonderful materials: discussion guides for guided reading, YouTube songs to go with some of the titles and teaching notes. I am really enjoying working with the Australian Curriculum and the NSW English Syllabus. Every time that TRIO’s friend sends us another cultural perspectives lesson, we get excited. Trio spent today working with teachers looking at the NSW maths syllabus. TRIO enjoys working with teachers learning how to program using the new English Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum. I have a confession to make.
Elementary Friday, 05 October 2012 CUES Login Intelligence plus character -- that is the goal of true education. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. A child Miseducated is a child lost. Education costs money, but so does ignorance. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is teach them to think. I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me. The only dumb question is the question you don't ask. What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation. The secret to education is respecting the pupil.
