===FUSE is a new resource for teachers. FUSE is a portal, a repository, a search engine, a workspace and a way of sharing content.===

FIND:
FUSE’s is focused on search. The FUSE search will allow teachers to locate high quality teaching and learning resources. These resources have been brought together from DEECD repositories including Connect Teacher, Digilearn, the DEECD website and the showcase from ePotential. Many resources have been recommended by teachers and all have been quality assured.

USE:
FUSE allows you to create and use your online resources with your students. You can upload files to your personal workspace called ‘My Desk’ and add from the repository to create a “Package” A range of different file types will be available, including video, images and sound files.

SHARE:
Fuse allows you to share what you have found, packaged and created. Each learning resource has a Learning Resource ID[01] (LRID). By giving ID to others they can access the resource through the window on the homepage of FUSE. You can provide this ID to your students, parents and other teachers. They can access them at school or at home.

Comments and Rating:
You can also post comments on learning resources and packages or share your experience of a resource by giving it a rating. Just to note you can remove a comment that you have posted on a resource and you will only be able to rate each resource once.

** I have created a Learning Resource package on FUSE called "The Amazing Human Machine" for Level 4 & 5 Science - Science Knowledge & Understanding. This will give you an idea of how a package looks and performs. I have included websites and digilearn activities, however you can include any type of resource including **
 * ** word docs **
 * ** PowerPoints **
 * ** images/photos **
 * ** videos **
 * ** websites **
 * ** digilearn content **
 * ** your own instructions **
 * ** templates such as KWL charts, Rubrics **

** To view this package either follow the link you would receive if someone emailed you a Resource Package (see below) or log into FUSE and search with the short code Z4EAB9. You can also choose to share your Resource Package to FUSE by selecting that option. This will be quality assured before being published. **

**I think that you will find "The Amazing Human Machine" a valuable teaching and learning resource.**
