    Fabulous resource for writing across the curriculum. Different types of writing for different content areas with concrete examples, templates, graphic organizers. It's also a great way to show how 3R informational text has different format and how to read it for comprehension.

  • Super Math World isn’t a totally free site but it does have a LOT of free content that kids can access. 
  • Free topics include: adding, measures, number patterns, percentages, place value, area, estimating, fractions, negative numbers, set theory, venn diagrams, and series.  The kids will enjoy the arcade-like practice area.
  • How to integrate Super Math World into the classroom:  Super Math World makes a great computer center activity during math.  The games are quick-enough that students can filter through classroom computers for their turn over a few periods.  The games would also make fun whole-class interactive whiteboard games.  These are intended to be one player, so you can split your students into teams and have them take turns at the board.

  • Using an iPod Touch in the Primary Classroom Posted by Mrs Kathleen Morris on Monday, August 8th 2011      2011 is the fourth year I’ve been using an iPod Touch in my classroom. My students enjoy using these hand held devices and they can be used to enhance student learning in many different areas. In this post I will describe how we set up our iPod Touches and how we use them. Funding In 2008, I was successful in applying for a DEECD Emerging Technologies Trial Grant. We purchase 8 iPod Touches and some professional development time. Since then, our school has budgeted to purchase a small number of iPod Touches. We generally buy our iPod Touches from BigW and get the lowest memory model. More than half of the classes at our large primary school now have an iPod Touch in their room (we also have a small number of iPads that we’re beginning to trial). Equipment A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
  • A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
  • While our headphone splitter works well to share one iPod between 5 students when they are listening to stories, podcast or videos, activities that involve apps are better in a 1:1 or 1:2 situation. We have found one way to get around this. If a group of students were playing an app, they might take it in turns to have a go with the app while also engaged in another related activity. For example, students could be taking it in turns to play the app Wurdle, while other students play the Boggle board game.

  • This is Tania’s website with links to some great literacy and numeracy resources for the junior primary classroom.

  • Sample Activities
  • Students listen to various stories.
  • How-to videos from the Howcast site have been stored on the iPod and students have followed the instructions to complete a task (eg. making origami). Tip: don’t let students on the Howcast site unsupervised.
  • Students have listened to songs and sequenced cards containing the lyrics to the song
  • Students listen to a recording of instructions which they must comprehend to draw something or complete a simple task.
  • Students have watched short videos
  • Student created videos and podcasts
  • Other Ideas Tom Barrett and his readers have put together this slideshow with other ideas about using the iPod Touch in the classroom.
