Children take their first critical steps toward learning to read and write very early in life. The role of teachers in this process is of critical importance. Plain teaching can be easily enriched with a touch of online free educational tools that can make them more attractive to young learners.

Teachers can use this tool to organize an activity in groups getting your goals in teaching-learning with the digital board, teamwork and creativity. Here you are a website in order to make it without cost and you have my link of my own webquest The chocolate world with the characters of the Charlie's factory film . This webquest was for students with 6 years old. You can use characters, links, videos, instructions .... Enjoy it!! http://www.phpwebquest.org/catala/webquest/soporte_tablon_w.php?id_actividad=7094&id_pagina=5

Great App to make video presentations with slides. You are featured in the video while you explain the slides throughout the presentation.

Socrative lets teachers engage and assess their students with educational activities on tablets, laptops and smartphones. Through the use of real time questioning, instant result aggregation and visualization, teachers can gauge the whole class' current level of understanding. Socrative saves teachers time so the class can further collaborate, discuss, extend and grow as a community of learners.

Socrative is a fun way to engage students with either polls or quizzes. I use it for vocabulary instruction primarily but if they have a device it makes it easier for them to all participate.

The features of ePub Editor allows you to enrich the content with a wide range of interactive exercises (multiple choice, true / false, fill in the gaps, drag & drop, etc.), which are useful for the making of a learning object, not just a simple ebook.

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

A charity that sets out to inspire and support schools and families to take positive action so that the education of every child is enhanced by good access to, and use of, learning technologies when and where they need them. It offers advice and guidance to schools on how to run a 1-1 access programme that is equitable for all families. It runs a Donation Management Service (DMS) that enables schools to support 1-1 tablet access even for disadgantaged children. It does this by taking over the administrative burden of making regular collections from parents, to create provision for all children to have their personal access to a computer.

WeVideo is the leading online video creation platform for video editing, collaboration, and sharing across iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, MAC, PC.

I post this because it is evidence of the type of learning which only ICTs make possible. While it is fascinating in itself, and Professor David Christian believes we should teach far more complicated science to young children, I have posted it as something to aim for. Won't it be fun when teachers and schools can create their own student/cohort specific learning sites like these.

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.

Interested in creating blogs for kids? There are lots of blogs around and many of them are geared toward youngsters. One thing you must do when producing blogs for children is to make sure that your content is appropriate for the little loved ones - warm and friendly.

Bring comics to the classroom with educational software that helps students create, share and collaborate on comics - without drawing a line. Use Bitstrips for Schools to teach reading comprehension, writing and digital literacy.

I have read good reviews about bitstrips earlier too, seems a good tool for primary students, a nice way to introduce them to writing stories. Will try it!!!!!

super heros and super powers as well as evil characters are a good way to teach values to chilren and develop storytelling, focuss ideas, etc. I find visual thinking very good for early learning and being able to make comics is great. Thanks for sharing.
