searching strategies - a video of tips to help students

This free web tool lets you create a video of what you are doing on your computer/laptop (it copies what you are doing on the screen), you can add commentary/audio as well. I use this tool often to make video tutorials for my classes - it is a valuable tool for 'flipping in the classroom', aiding personalised learning. Students can work at their own pace and watch the created video tutorial once or they could watch each screencast/video 10 times or more if needed! For example, you can create a video while you solve an equation or plan an essay. Teachers from the same subject can share their creations to save time. Students can benefit when they can see a variety of techniques and explanations.

Short activities - may be useful prompts for starting a lesson. Searching prompts and challenges with some hints and a solution. Displayed in a PowerPoint style document. A variety of topics are covered. I have saved this page with a focus on the history topics. Good for short searching practice sessions

Be creative and create interesting posters - let students create a masterpiece on a given topic

I think this site is very useful in the classroom - it runs as an app on iPads and Phones and it can also be accessed by the website on any internet enabled device or computer. You can conduct class polls, single questions or quizzes and receive immediate feedback on your screen. Students enter your room number to participate but do not need an account or any other sign in details - it is one of the easiest apps I have used.
