"A YouTube channel with a great collection of maths GCSE explanations."

"The world is changing and that is nothing new. To quote a great prophet, "It was always burning, since the world's been turning." But the rate of change coupled with the explosion of data and media means that information from and about the world around us has turned from a manageable stream to a continual barraging flood. We can either give our pupils the skills to set up a self-sustaining hermitage in a mobile signal black spot, or we can provide them with the managed explosure and then skills to assess and deal with what is being hurled at them."

"An interest twist on the online timeline creator. Create an interactive multimedia timeline to embed or share with a url by changing a Google Document template. Great for quickly creating timelines around a common format or asking pupils to adapt from a timeline you create."

"There are many mobile app creators out there. This one stands out because most features are free and it uses coding blocks to build the app you want without prior coding knowledge. Great for pupils to use who have been introduced to coding on Scratch."

"A simple online group buzzer, where pupils can connect using any web-enabled device to 'raise a virtual hand' to answer quick-fire quiz questions. Connect as many pupils as you wish, see who presses first, while the others are locked out."

"Fun Google Maps powered game where players drop a pin in a location to answer a question."

"Enter a noun into this website and get a range of words to help you describe it. Superb for creative or descriptive writing projects."
