Free Web Lessons for Educational and Non-Commercial Use

Sidney (AU), October 2010 - Provided by Australian Kieran O'Regan, this site offers free and non-commercial interactive web-based lessons in history, language and the arts for use by students and teachers.




The lessons were made with Microsoft FrontPage, Microsoft Expression Web, and Notbook10 for use with interactive white boards. They cover such diverse topics as Ancient Greek History, Traditional Aboriginal Society, and Script and Speech Writing. The necessary tools and guidelines for possible presentation and learning activities are provided on the site.

Suggested activities include creating an interactive timeline, building a mini-website, and making a photo essay. All lessons are self-explanatory, and the site provides a large selection of backgrounds to build lessons.

The site further offers IT tips for teachers, as well as conference papers held by O'Regan in which he shares some general suggestions and guidelines on how to incorporate IT into teaching and learning.
