Curating Resources

One-to-one and small group literacy learning in literacy programs is about creating a personalized learning program with a learner or group of learners.

Three types of resources

When choosing a resource, consider whether it is ...

Evergreen

  • a library of resources that changes infrequently

  • static links to resources and activities

Good for consistency, accuracy and authority.

Consistent navigation makes these resources accessible to learners with a wide range of experience.

Streaming

  • changes and updates frequently

Good for currency and for supplementing evergreen resources with up-to-date information or current event examples of how ideas, theories and opinions play out in real life.

Good for practising media literacy skills.

Examples: YouTube, TikTok, government websites

Pre-built learning

  • can be evergreen resources and/or streaming content

  • includes learning activities and supports

Good for independent learning, starting points for learning plans and providing models for lesson plans.

Good for extending learning outside program hours.
