Educational resources

Educational resources come in many different forms today, including CDs, software, DVDs, videos, books, overheads, websites, posters, and demonstration kits. With so many forms of media, kids are learning more effectively as their attention is captured for longer spans of time, as well as providing a means of interaction. Whether for primary, secondary or tertiary education, educational resources abound in libraries, book stores, and online.
Different resources are available for a range of subject material, whether for teachers, lecturers, parents or students. For educators that have run out of ideas, educational resources can provide creative lesson plans with multimedia aids. For parents, books with syllabus objectives outlined can help with assisting their child. While students can access a variety of reference resources from school and local libraries, as well as on the internet. Multimedia resources can really help a student achieve their academic potential in a an interesting and effective manner, whether studying for exams or writing assignments.

Pearson Education Australia, Heinemann Educational Publishers, Scholastic, KBS (Knowledge Books and Software), Allen & Unwin, and Impact Publishing are all mayor publishers of educational resources in Australia.

Benefits of educational software

In the information age, computer literacy is a high priority in education, so including educational software in the syllabus helps give kids a world-class education. It can prepare students to compete and succeed in the information economy by providing training that helps them to have successful careers.

There are different types of educational software, used for a variety of learning purposes. These include productivity, drill practice, problem solving, tutorials, demonstration, reference, multimedia, simulation, games and groupware. Good educational software enables students to develop and practice a broad range skills, as well as helping to develop understanding of cause and effect, higher order problem solving, procedural thinking, and creative expression. Software have also proven extremely beneficial to students with speech, audio, and motor limitations. Statistics show that a student who is interested and involved by what they are learning will learn at rates far better than the student that is not entertained by the learning process.

KBS: Knowledge Books and Software Education
The Reading LINK program is currently in use across Australia in private and state schools with more than 35,000 students currently using or having used the program since starting in 2006. This centre is specifically set-up to address reading difficulties. It will have the single purpose of getting students reading and writing fluently as quickly as possible.
Barely a week goes by without the popular media breaking a new story on the literacy crisis in Australian schools. Even if we ignore the media hype, the declining literacy levels in schools and the associated follow-on problems are a cause for major concern to all educators. There is no quick fix solution to this problem. It can only be solved by the teaching of the necessary foundation skills needed to decode the written word. Reading LINK transforms the teaching of literacy. Reading LINK – Decoding is a systematic and carefully structured approach to the development of higher levels of reading and spelling skills. Based on current scientific research and rigorously tested, this cutting-edge program builds foundation skills in unlocking the code of written language.
