Description

The Scootle app for Android allows teachers in Australia to use Scootle on the go.

Scootle is a tool with many thousands of digital curriculum resources, supported by powerful search and browse functions. It includes classroom resources and teacher reference materials. Scootle's features enable teachers to organise lessons, share content with students and collaborate with colleagues. Scootle is a service freely available to all teachers across Australia. It is delivered by Education Services Australia on behalf of the Australian Government and the Australian states and territories.

Usability notes

• Many Scootle learning objects require you to drag and drop objects, and were designed to be used with a mouse. If you experience issues with dragging and dropping, or clicking does not work as expected, use one of the following options in the settings menu:

• Theatre Mode, which prevents the screen from scrolling when dragged

• Virtual Mouse, which allows you to drag objects by moving the cursor with two fingers on the touchpad.
