Having drawn shapes using the Pro-Bot last time, this week for the fourth lesson I teach the children how to enter commands more quickly (and therefore more accurately too) by using the repeat button.

My maths is a great resource to teach numeracy for the kids. It is a subscription website for schools, and it has lessons, worksheets, games, homework. Everything you need to teach Numeracy using an ICT tool.

mymaths is an excellent site... I used it for 6 years in my previous schools and it was used from Y1 to Y13 it is amazing for lessons but especially for homework and each cohort was followed through Primary and Secondary - great assessment tool too.

Meet Nearpod, an all-in-one solution for the use of mobile devices in education. Easily create interactive multimedia presentations to engage your audience. It works great with iPads and provides continuous feedback and reports

This is an online service that allows you to create interactive lessons with students. You can use it in "student-paced" mode or in "Live session" to have all your students engaging at the same time. I was able to get a School License and it has been great! The free version works great too. The only limitations are the storage space and the limited file size for each presentation. There is a Google Slide integration if you would like a more familiar experience. I like to work on Nearpod.com and import slides created in whatever software or App I'm feeling like using that day (Canva.com , Keynote , etc.). I encourage you to try it out, it is really fun and at least my students really enjoy lessons designed on Nearpod!

helpful for the librarians for their library skills.

A few years old now, but still a great resource. Lots of videos from primary (and secondary) pupils carrying out innovative, interesting and fun science experiments. A great source of ideas and inspiration for your next science lesson.

Fabulous online robotics challenge - I use it in my school with grades 3-6 (Australia) as we do not have robotics.

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

A very good resource indeed! Completes greatly the first lesson of K-5 Course 1 of code.org, I think.

OpenEd makes it easy to differentiate instruction. It also fills in the gaps where the district may not be able to afford resources. I can easily search for all the tools I need to meet the Common Core Standards, and my students are engaged in learning this way.

Duolingo, the free, wildly popular language app, is taking its zero-ad, gamification approach to learning into the classroom today, with the launch of a new platform called Duolingo for Schools. Launched in 2012, Duolingo offers reading, listening, speaking and writing exercises split into different lessons ("skills") and levels (if you get a certain number wrong in a given level, you lose a life). Good example of how free app available on line are helping to solve the financial factor on developing countries and improving language learning.
