During the 2014 ICICTE Conference John Hunt (2014) described the pedagogical and technological requirements for the Wondervision Project, reporting on the project's first phase, resource development. This paper focuses on its second, data collection. It addresses three questions. 1. How have the resources contributed to teachers embedding Indigenous perspectives in the learning they design? 2. To what extent do the different resources in digital learning environments engender changing attitudes to learning? 3. How have these resources contributed to reconciliation with our Indigenous peoples? This paper adopts a case study approach to two of the participating schools. The study identified a number of positive attributes created by accessing the range of resources, including the structure and content of the resources and the provision of resources for independent use by children.
