a list of the top ten sites visited by those interested in ipads and education

Google site I created for Early Years PD some useful links and pedagogical ideas etc. 

A site that gives some great ideas for lessons, other relevant maths sites, software and videos about all areas of the maths curriculum. 

Thanks Garth, you're an ICT star!

Great site full of resources. Check out the creative commons page for images for blogs this could be very useful

Interactive site on simple and compound machines (It lists "gears" as a simple machine, which is the only place where I have seen this, as everywhere else just has the traditional 6 simple machines. Likewise, some of the examples of various machines are a bit tenuous, but it is a fun site, nonetheless)

This is the google site that Peter and I put together as part of our VITTA presentation. It's got great examples of student work and planning documents etc worth bookmarking for future reference

Woo Hoo! At last we can now control page level permissions in Google sites. This could be a game changer for schools who have been using Google Ed Apps. 

Wow soooo many games sooo many sites. Should be something here for your classroom.

The Literacy Shed is home to a wealth of visual resources that I have collected over my 10 year career as a primary school teacher.   I trawl youtube, vimeo and other sites looking for suitable resources to use in the sheds. The sheds are broadly thematic but sometimes a resource could go in 2 or more sheds, I slot it in where I think it works best. 

Great site for planning word family brainstorms with your class!

A great site for finding words for certain sounds and blends.

Great collection of maths sites check out the drag and drop

Awesome site for teaching history

This site has fantastic virtual worlds for the kids to explore. In particular, check out "Big Little Bang".

Another amazing Google Project. From the archaeological areas of Pompeii to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, Google's World Wonders Project aims to bring to life the wonders of the modern and ancient world. By using our Street View technology, Google has a unique opportunity to make world heritage sites available to users across the globe. Street View is a hugely popular feature of Google Maps which is already available in dozens of countries. It allows users to virtually explore and navigate a neighborhood through panoramic street-level images. With advancements in our camera technologies we can now go off the beaten track to photograph some of the most significant places in the world so that anyone, anywhere can explore them.

A+ Click is a free site full of online mathematics games for students at all grade levels. You can find games on A+ Click by selecting a grade level then selecting a topic. Alternatively, you select just a topic or just a grade level and browse through all of the games. Students do not need to register in order to play the games.

A great maths site with excellent games. Really good for older kids too with some great games on Algebra, trigonometry, logic puzzles, worded problems, area perimeter etc

Good site for kids to get free images that have been released by creative commons lisence

A critique of connectivism worth a read. 

On June 21 2012, the Government released a discussion paper which states its vision for the improvement of the teaching profession. The 'New Directions for School Leadership and the Teaching Profession,' aims to stimulate and inform discussion on the future of the teaching profession and school leadership.  As a collective of grass roots teachers, who are not currently being asked to participate in educational debates and discussion, we see this as an opportunity to enable teachers' voice.   Teachers: A great, yet untapped, source for policy makers.
