Hi Skwirkers,
Things are getting pretty exciting over at Skwirk HQ as we
continue to work on the new site. We’re delighted with the ideas our amazing
development team are coming up with!

We’ve got some great features that will be ready to go from
Day 1 of the new site:
-
Australian curriculum alignment – we’ve been hard at work linking our HUGE amount of English, Science,
Maths and History content to the Australian curriculum. You will be able to
search for content by curriculum codes to make sure your transition to the new
national curriculum is smooth and simple. We are also making sure that you can
find great content that links to new focus areas like sustainability, digital
literacy and Australia’s relationship with Asia.
-
Teacher features -
We’ve had great input from our schools and teachers over the last few years,
and we want to make sure your Skwirk experience reflects YOUR school and YOUR
classroom. The new site will allow you to control your class access, embed
additional content in pages, and create your own site-specific Skwirksheets
(yes, that’s we are calling them).
-
Mobile site and Skwirk app – online education can happen anywhere you have a screen. The new site
will offer a mobile version to make Skwirk a great option for on-the-go
learning. We are also developing a Skwirk app for release later in the year –
email us if you’d like to be part of our testing team!

For our loyal Skwirkers who are
worried about not being able to find their favourite subject content
post-migration, never fear! We are making sure that all the animations, games,
videos and podcasts are making the journey to the new site.

Finally, don’t forget to check
out our YouTube Channel. We are always adding new content, including hi-res ‘remastered’ versions of our favourite videos and animations. It’s a great way
to find out what kind of content is available for other subject areas and year
groups. You can find this here.
Happy Skwirking!
