Best techy-nerd site on the web for gadget and IT news

Food for thought esp . for those working in this area in Extend Your Talents

The Maths Arcade section of this website has some really fun games for students from P-6. They can choose their level and select a game to practice their maths skills independent.

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 for Maths games and interactive activities.

Maths activities and lessons for upper primary...especially extension activities!!!

Creativity is the act of thinking. Whether you are deliberately engaged in thought for the purpose of making novel connections or in a state of incubation where the creative process is happening somewhere in the deep unconscious it is thinking that you are doing. Making thinking visible is a must read and have for all schools who are wanting to promote thinking. The thinking  routines outlined in this book are easily implemented and have robust research from Harvard Graduate School Of Education that demonstrate their effectiveness.  

This website allows kids to 'make' their own stories in several different genres. There are also other pages worth looking.

Another great literacy site, particularly for early years.

Looking at this for carnevale

A great poster creator. Worth a look students can upload images and manipulate them to look like posters. Students can export out to blogs etc or print. Could be useful online tool for short presentations of student work. 

Love Hungry Beast and I still love Google. Who Cares!!! The government have all my details and so do most retailers. 

This is an amazing site full of great student interactive activities coering all areas of the curriculum. 

A must see. Very freaky! Makes the mind boggle. Gives an insight to how complex things have become. 

This looks like a handy tool for maps lessons. You can do all this in google earth but having the drawing tools over laid at the top of the screen is very handy and quite user friendly for students. 

Everything you need to know about google docs. A great series of how to videos on google docs. Does lack any information on google forms howwever

great free DVD burning software for Windows machines

Create a 'wild self' by choosing from different options. A great tool for story writing or even to create an unusual avatar for blogs. Kids love this website.

Some of these look like they might be great for a quick lesson on the smartboard 

Great list of presentation tools that can be embedded into blogs. Through the HTML tab.
