Winners of the 2018 Copyright Licensing Education Awards were announced tonight at the uLearn18 conference held at Sky City Convention Centre in Auckland. Teachers from around the country joined the official panel of education experts and cast their votes to add their choice of best resources to the judge’s selections.
The awards recognise the success of New Zealand resource providers in the education market and standout contributions made in both New Zealand classrooms and overseas. The winners this year are a mix of digital resources alongside traditional texts – a reflection of the range of materials that our teachers are using in today’s classrooms.
Paula Browning, Chief Executive of Copyright Licensing NZ says, “Education resources created and written in New Zealand, for New Zealanders, have a special part to play in supporting student success and developing what the New Zealand curriculum terms “confident, connected, lifelong learners”. The interplay between teachers, students and resources is rich and complex, but whether the resource explores our unique flora and fauna, our celebrated writers and artists, or our history and whakapapa, resources produced locally by teachers, education writers, publishers and public agencies are critical.”
