Presentation tip #1: Be a great presenter with Prezi presentation software. This is a wonderful new way of presentation. Easy and quick. One can use this instead of powerpoint presentation. In my experience, students love to explore prezi.

I always use this web tools to prepare my lesson materials and also my students use it to make their Project work. I also reccomend animoto.com to prepare good and enjoyable presentations

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.

I am really excited about this research done by Dr. Mitra. It goes to show that barriers to ICT access can be significantly minimized and all students can gain access. In this talk, Sugata Mitra will take us through the origins of schooling as we know it, to the dematerialisation of institutions as we know them. Thirteen years of experiments in children's education takes us through a series of startling results - children can self-organise their own learning, they can achieve educational objectives on their own, they can read by themselves.

I was recently introduced to this research and found it fascinating. I am going to try to use some of this research in my own classroom by giving children access to the technology and giving them some freedom to explore and answer questions for themselves. I am excited to see how it works out!

Professor Mitra came to Argentina as a speaker for the ESSARP Conference in 2013. Fortunately colleagues of mine had the fortune to assist and learn aboit this amazing person from which we can learn a lot! Trust for our students is the key! Not being afraid helps as well! Allowing kids to learn through tools they feel comfortable about is a great success!

Evernote is mainly a note-taking app. It is an amazing tool to write down your thoughts and ideas, organize them by using tags and sync them across various mobile devices. But thanks to a very friendly API, Evernote can do more. If you don't wanna mess with Tumblr, Blogger or WordPress, but you are a major Evernote fan,...

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.

LearnEnglish Kids has lots of free online games, songs, stories and activities for children to have fun and learn English too.

As a teacher of 5-6 year old ESL learners in a bilingual school, I find this website really useful for activities, songs, games etc for teaching English in a fun way. It is very interractive and child friendsly. Children can explore activities alone or it can be used as part of a teaching session. They can also leave their own comments about activities they liked. I think someone has already mentioned it below but I love it so much I had to post again so everyone can see. Highly recommended for any teachers of young learners, whether these kids are second language learners or not.

good site

I think this resourse will also be useful for teachers of primary schools

I use this a lot especially the Murder Mysteries in the maths section.

This website is great. I use it especially for maths activities.

I like using kahoot and flipgrid . They are great tools for making learning fun

During the covid pandemic, when the classroom has been changed to virtual classrooms I have been using this site for creating quizzes and games in the class. This can be used to create content-based as well as fun games in the classroom.

Above is a link to one of my science lessons and activities used to cater for the variant levels of pupils in my class using the learning platform of google sites.

Interesting. In some schools here they are trying to implement the use of ipads, I think it is a very useful article to approach the issue.

My school is contemplating providing our Kindergarten with a classroom set of iPads, and I will certainly forward this article to our teachers as they begin to introduce iPad use into their curriculum.

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!

I would like to share some links of website where you will find games which you can use in class.

Find lots of online resources which you can use in your daily classes

This is definitely a great resource for the classroom

Video production is a creative task and the most important segment of a video is its intro. An intro video is a small segment of a video which is used to tell the viewer what the ongoing video is all about. For a newbie, it is comparatively easy to learn and shoot a live picturesque video.

I would like to share this wonderful article about blogging in pedagogy. Enjoy ^)

I think this is worth reading...sometimes we are blinded by the spark of ICT and forget about its rationale. This might help us make informed decisions about what to choose, how and when to use it and what for,

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

Wonderful idea! I have bookmarked the page!

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.

A free and easy to use website to create brochures and booklets. Great to use for project presentations.

newer version of IE or use a different browser: Firefox or Chrome. For additional information please see the ScienceDirect Blog page.Close

A simple online tool for creating book covers. My grade Prep and 1 (Australia) students use this with few difficulties. The Book Cover Creator is designed to allow users to type and illustrate front book covers, front and back covers, and full dust jackets. Students can use the tool to create new covers for books that they read as well as to create covers for books they write individually or as a class.

Plickers is an app whereby just the teacher needs an iPad. It is great tool for teachers who are not so confident using ICT devices to become familiar and confident to use them with the children in their class. It is also a great tool for pre/post assessment.
