Resourcing the Australian Curriculum

At the heart of the Curriculum: Government maps plan for Asian Century success

The Australian Government has released its Asian Century white paper and outlined ways to take advantage of the region's boom in the areas of economy, education and skills, commerce, regional security and culture, but how has the road map been greeted?
For further understanding view the following video clips:
 "Where will Australia fit into the Asian Century?" 
  "Asian Languages."
 "China Connection."
 "PM's plan for every child to learn an Asian language."

What is Asia literacy?

The idea of Asia literacy is that by the time they leave school, a strong cohort of young Australians will speak an Asian language and all young Australians will have foundational and deep knowledge, skills and understanding of the histories, geographies, arts and literature of the diverse countries of Asia
The new Australian Curriculum includes the cross-curriculum priority of Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia in every subject from Foundation to Year 12.

Resources:
I have been collecting pins for my Australian Curriculum Resources board and on my library weblinks site: Australian Curriculum Resources  because not all pages are able to be pinned.
I have discovered that there are so many wonderful free, quality resources already available- You just need to know where to look!!
I hope my collections can help you find suitable resources to suit your school learning community.
You may also find some useful information at my recent past posts on New NSW Curriculum Updates Australian Curriculum update for NSW teachers and  Teacher Talk-: ACARA shape paper-Australian Curriculum .
