Finding comprehensive, curriculum-aligned digital teaching and learning content can often feel overwhelming. That’s why Education Services Australia created Scootle, the national portal of freely available curriculum-aligned educational materials, designed to make teaching the Australian Curriculum easier. While anyone can explore Scootle as a guest user, the platform’s full suite of resources and tools is exclusively available to registered educators in Australian schools. If you haven’t signed up yet, here’s why you should, and how to do it.
Why Register for Scootle?
Scootle offers an expansive collection of free digital teaching and learning resources aligned with the Australian Curriculum. These resources include interactive tools, games, videos and lesson plans across a wide range of subjects and year levels. By registering, educators gain free access to personalised features such as saving resources to collections and creating learning paths for students.
Who Can Register?
Registration is open to educators currently working within Australian schools.
How to Register for Scootle
Registering for Scootle is an easy process, designed to be flexible and allow individual educators to register, or to integrate with the existing credentials of educators in some Australian education networks. Here’s how you can get started:
- Via Education Network Login: If your school is part of an Australian education network that allows network logins for Scootle, you may already have the necessary credentials to log in. Verify your education network login eligibility by visiting our login page and checking to see if your network is listed.
- Self-Registration with a .edu.au Email Address: For educators in independent schools or preservice teachers at Australian universities who do not have eligible network credentials, Scootle offers a self-registration option. Simply use your .edu.au email address to create an account.
- Having trouble registering with the address you use in your teaching practice? Contact our Helpdesk.
Once registered, you can begin by exploring the platform and customising your profile. Then, you can incorporate Scootle’s resources into your teaching, building custom lists and learning pathways to simplify planning and lesson delivery.
