Scootle appears to be a very useful starting point for electronic resources aligned to the Australian Curriculum. It is easy to navigate, uses a convenient range of filters, and allows users to explore resources based on subject, year, or curriculum outcome. I also like that it takes you straight to the resource or unit of work, though due to the dynamic nature of the internet it would be a lot of work for site administrators to ensure that the links are all correct and still live!

Despite its use as a starting point when searching for electronic teaching resources, I had never heard of Scootle prior to starting this degree so I’m not sure how well it’s advertised and promoted to the wider teaching community. A resource is only useful if users know about it and how to use it.
