FUSE offers over 10,000 free teaching resources

FUSE is a portal to high quality teaching and learning resources
for schools. It enables teachers to Find, Use and Share Education
resources. It is open to all teachers anywhere in the world and is 
located at www.education.vic.gov.au/teacher

It is free to use and managed by the Victorian Education 
Department in Australia.  The Victorian Education Department
is recognised as one of the best ICT focussed Educational groups 
in the world.

FUSE connects teachers to resources from across the world, Connect, 
Digilearn, Knowledgebank, the Learning Federation content and 
thousands of web resources recommended by Victorian teachers. 
In addition, it contains new resources provided by trusted education 
partners such as National Gallery of Victoria, the State Library, 
Museum Victoria, and Zoos Victoria.  There are also access pages for 
students and early childhood children.

Tutorials on how to use FUSE are available within the portal.  FUSE
 has been developed as part of the KnowledgeBank: Next Generation
Project. This project conducted research in hundreds of classrooms 
across Victoria to investigate how web 2.0 technologies can enhance
teaching and learning, and established appropriate usage policies for 
these technologies.

At this time Victorian Government teachers can login to access extra 
resources (Inc the TLF content), create new resources including rich
media and upload them to FUSE to share. FUSE includes web 
conferencing and teacher blogging. Access will be built up throughout 
the year to provide full access to other teachers. FUSE will be the 
content library for the Ultranet.
