Cure the Bullies
A serious cyber bullying epidemic is infecting kids across Australia. Luckily there is a cure. This is a campaign 'by kids for kids', addressing the audience not from an adult authoritative perspective, but a peer-to-peer behaviour awareness perspective. By providing a safe and fun interactive game space for primary aged kids to identify in themselves their own behaviours, they can then choose to take a stand and pledge their commitment to stamping out cyberbullying by pickling their Bullies Virus. In addition to the website SchoolAid has engaged education experts at Macquarie University's Institute of Early Childhood to develop 'Springboards to Philanthropy' - a set of tools and ideas you can use in the classroom to support values education and philanthropic development within your curriculum. These resources have been designed and written to align to relevant areas of the curriculum so that you can seamlessly and easily build values education into your daily teaching practice.

Inanimate Alice
An interactive story, set in remote Northern China during the early years of the 21st century, 'Inanimate Alice' tells the story of Alice and her imaginary digital friend Brad. Through text, sound, images, music and games, the story of Alice becomes increasingly interactive and game-like, reflecting Alice's own developing skills as a game designer and animator. Students from primary (as young as 8 years of age) to post-graduate level find this digital novel engaging. Will appeal to both book-lovers and computer gamers alike. The level of interactivity starts out low in episode one, increasing with each subsequent episode, which enables an audience unfamiliar with multimedia fiction to easily participate. This resource is also multi-lingual and available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and is being used by teachers in over 80 countries. Available on all devices capable of running Adobe's Flash Player. Education Pack for Teachers requires free registration.
