"When teachers dig into the resource, they quickly see the possibilities for their classes. They are surprised at how rich the materials are and start doing some mental planning straight away. A first reaction is often about how well students will respond to Moorditj and the way it is presented."

"...(in) a program for Indigenous students ... integrating English and IT outcomes on a cultural diversity project ... my students found it exceptionally useful in researching Aboriginal music, art and many aspects of cultural diversity. It is so welcome to have interactive resources ... active learning with students in the driving seat. I have found the resource exceedingly useful and would urge schools to purchase a copy."
-- Geoff Holt, Swan View SHS, Perth WA

"A triumph of digital technology. Navigation is a sheer pleasure - the design, down to the icons is based on Indigenous motifs, imbuing it with a sense of cohesion and focus. A wonderful experience."

"Moorditj is more than a resource for students. It's a dose of optimism in a diet of despair. All Australian Indigenous students and educators as well as non-Indigenous students and educators should spend some time reflecting on the Moorditj resource which clearly demonstrates the ongoing contribution of Indigenous Australians to building a rich cultural landscape for the Australian society."
-- Marcus Dixon, President, Association of Northern Territory School Educational Leaders


"Moorditj is an outstanding curriculum resource for all schools. It has an immediate impact across all curriculum areas and stages. The teaching units and guides help to make the resource a cross-curriculum, integrated approach to Indigenous perspectives and has a place in schools irrespective of Indigenous enrolments.

In my work with the Dare To Lead project and as a presenter in Indigenous Education for the What Works project I use Moorditj as a tool to raise the awareness of Principals to the cultural and social strengths of the Australian Indigenous Nation. Truly an amazing and versatile resource that should be used in every classroom."
-- Brian Giles-Browne, Seconded Principal, Dare To Lead National Action Area Co-ordinator
