Hi Vikki, The information you have shared will be very helpful for developing teacher knowledge and understanding of ICT incorporations! Thank you, I'll keep it in the back of my mind. I have experienced some wonderful ICT incorporations during my professional experience, however I'm sad to report the interactive whiteboard isn't functioning in my classroom. I was really looking forward to engaging with it. Have you had any success with it? I have found that the students engage really well with IXL on their iPads, have you come across this resource yet? I feel it would be along the same lines as an interactive whiteboard, and it's evident that the student love their hands on learning. IXL, what a fantastic resource! I was first exposed to this last week during my professional experience and it's great! It caters for a diverse range of students and they are all so excited to engage with it! I had a quick go myself, and it's very enjoyable! Nice clear pictures and writing and quick answers go a long way to increasing interest. I was so surprised that the low level learners who aren't all that keen to engage with any learning were more than happy to have a go on the IPads for this activity. No words!

Brainstorming

Hi Vikki, This is a fantastic 'free' resource, however I have already used my quota and will need to delete the mind maps I have already created if I want to make new ones down the track for free. Has anyone bought the program? I feel it's something I will use a lot of when I'm a qualified teacher, but think I'll wait to purchase it down the track. During my professional experience I engaged the students in mind mapping, however that was just through using pencils on paper. I'd love to develop their ICT knowledge and use a similar program to bubbl.us, to help familiarise them with mind mapping/brainstorming and feel comfortable using it. Kaitlin Deneen
