| The resource entitled
'Moorditj' continues to be extremely well received by school leaders
who immediately see its potential in incorporating Indigenous
perspectives in all curriculum areas. 'Moorditj' which means "strong"
or "excellent" - is a multi-award-winning interactive CD-ROM
celebrating the depth and diversity of the cultural expressions of
Indigenous Australian artists
. Moorditj explores 300 artworks from 110 Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander artists, including Sally Morgan, Yothu Yindi, Neville T Bonner
and the Bangarra Dance Theatre. For further information visit the website. The
project provides some support for the implementation of this resource
into schools, through the development of a number of units of work that
are showcased at Action Area workshops. The most significant indicator
that this resource is being taken up by school in a serious way is the
increase in the uptake of school site licences, which enables over 30
units of work to be accessed by schools and provides free teacher
resource material. Through the Memorandum of Understanding a copy of the 'Moorditj' resource is provided free to all Dare to Lead member schools when they join the Dare to Lead
project. Schools are encouraged to purchase a site licence to access the
extensive resources listed on the Moorditj website.
