The ICTmagic Advent Calendar is back for 2012! Get a new Christmas resource, activity or game to use in your class every day in December up to the big day.
The fact is that Tablets are here, they are useful, and they are proliferating as we speak. Most of my money this Christmas was spent at Amazon and the Apple store. Apps and music are where we spend our money. Two of my kids wanted iphones and the other, an ipad mini. Merry Christmas to Apple - I think many others are like that as well. I've been testing the Kenna tablet from SchoolTube which is a heavy duty droid tablet with slots for just about everything. Tablets are everywhere.
Help Santa deliver presents to houses and to good boys and girls. Fly his sleigh through the air dropping presents to the right place before the time runs out.

Here's the content of the 12 games of Christmas teaching pack.
NOTE: IF you download, you will probably have to manually enter your school's information, especially if you are from outside the UK as many of us are just coming into the TES platform now.
If your school has united streaming and you do things to teach others about how to use this resource, you can become a STAR educator. Here is the application process and let me know, I'll be happy to help you.
I have an ulterior motive on this one -- if I help recruit a STAR by December 1st, I can get a mythbusters or Deadliest catch DVD and really would love to give this to my son. Like all of you, I'm scrambling this year on Christmas to slash the budget and still do great things. (Hey, some of you might want to give my book for Christmas ;-)
So, if you decide to join and want a little help, let me know. And if you do so, let me know and I can get credit and get a DVD -- my son LOVES mythbusters!!
I've been a STAR educator for some time now, and it is another great networking program. They also have their summer institutes. They have a wealth of great resources and UNITED STREAMING is my teacher's FAVORITE classroom subscription that we have.
Elf yourself is a very viral jib-jab style Christmas animation that lets you put 5 faces into the program and turn them into dancing elves. It is hilarious and would be great to create for that office christmas party -- it lets you download it and you could burn to dvd. (also fun addition to that family dvd you made in photostory or picasa)
What fun! (And a BIG win for Office Max)
A ton of resources for the IBoard for these last few days before Christmas. Bookmark them and have them ready to go for next year. Meanwhile, parents at home with kids may find something for a child to play that reinforces a topic that kids are having trouble with at school. We always do math facts over break with my youngest.
iPhone iPod Touch version - math game for kids that is free. Why not download this for the car and let them play it a bit to help them with math. For elementary age children.
This is a good Christmas game where you must line up 3 baubles of the same colour to make them disappear. Make as many dissappear as you can to gain points.
