Our school subscribes to the ELES Study Skills Handbook: www.studyskillshandbook.com.au
This is an online resource available for students of Temora HS who have received their username and password
There is a plethora of topics to assist students, such as:
- Study tips
- Organisation
- Time management planning
- Dealing with distractions
- Motivation
- Goal setting
- Lifestyle and balance
- Managing stress
- Skills in different subjects
- Preparing for tests and exams
In addition to the huge amount of content, the systematic program for students to work through includes: online quizzes, summary sheets, worksheets, lots of FAQs answered, articles and links, online polls, facility to submit questions, helpful grids and planners, jokes and quotes, student thoughts, images and photos, students can submit ideas to win competitions…
Plus:
- audio and video files (lots more of these being added this year!)
- streaming audio (to allow students the option to read or listen to the content)
And: new content added regularly, new units added each year, new features added regularly.
There is also a tracking system where students save the results of their end of unit quizzes and modules over the years.
The handbook is designed to be flexible so you can use it in the way that best suits the needs of your school and your students.
- The handbook is continually growing. What you are seeing today is just the beginning. There will be greater depth added to the existing units, new multimedia experiences, new features and new units. The resource will be continually expanding and you will need to take this into account in your planning. It may reach the stage where it would not be possible for students to cover all units during the time available at school in which case you can then pick and choose the units that are most relevant to your students.
