Part One:Introduction to Digistore
![Page 3: Beyond the blog and wiki Exploring learning objects and digital resources on Digistore](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814e43550346895dbbba69/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is Digistore?
• Te Pātaka Matihiko; Digistore is New Zealand's gateway to thousands of free items of digital curriculum content from the Ministry of Education and The Le@rning Federation (TLF).
• You can find interactive learning objects, images, audio files and movie clips via browse, search and filter technology.
• Digistore allows you to tag and rate favourite resources, and create learning paths, to ensure quick access for both you and your students.

What is a Learning Path?
• An exciting new feature of Digistore 2.0 is the ability to create Learning Paths, a collection or sequence of learning content interwoven with teacher comments and descriptions that can be created for a particular audience eg: Students, Teachers, parents or as a personal collection.
• Later this year all NZ teachers at registered schools will be able to access Digistore using their Education Sector login (ESAA). Until then learning paths should be created under a school's username and password. Teachers will be able to copy any school learning paths to their ESAA login once they are made available.

Why would I use this in English?

Effective use of Digital Content
• The use of digital learning resources provides a ‘real’ learning opportunity for English learning alongside identified learning outcomes in other learning areas.
• e-Learning as inquiry has also been developed to support teachers to explore how the use of digital content, software, and other e-learning strategies can be integrated into literacy teaching and learning.

Part Three: Creating a Learning Path Activity
![Page 10: Beyond the blog and wiki Exploring learning objects and digital resources on Digistore](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814e43550346895dbbba69/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why create a learning path?
• To support an identified sequence of questions or comments for students to explore.
• To identify a collection of digital content, selected to support a specific concept or focus that students are able to revisit for maintenance.
• To use in conjunction with other relevant digital content and learning experiences
• To enrich an existing programme of learning designed within an online learning space.

Questions to consider at the planning stage
• Is creating a Learning Path vs linking or embedding digital content a more effective option?
• What are the benefits to the learning process?• How can I re-purpose content and what are the
possible opportunities for shared learning?• Is this an effective use of time?
