Scran (www.scran.ac.uk) has been Scotland's leading images database for culture, heritage and beyond for over a decade. Through Scran, Scotland's teachers and learners are provided with free access to over 350,000 high quality, copyright cleared images and multi-media resources from a huge variety of fascinating sources. A Curriculum for Excellence challenges teachers to think differently about the curriculum and calls for teachers to draw on their creative abilities to produce support materials to engage with learners. Through thought provoking, unique and eye catching materials, teachers can encourage learners to become successful in helping to take responsibility for their own type and pace of learning. Scran enables the teacher to use primary resource materials to create their own innovative, interesting and stimulating teaching materials, easily adaptable for the needs of the particular learner at any level. This seminar will take you through the massive potential of Scran as a resource development tool for A Curriculum for Excellence, drawing on the experience of teachers who have already found Scran to be an invaluable tool, providing real innovation in the curriculum. Hear how Scottish teachers and learners have re-used and re-edited Scran's free multi-media resources to create teaching materials, podcasts, presentations, movies, and more to use and share. |
