The blurb says: "Toondoo lets you create comic strips and cartoons easily with just a few clicks, drags and drops". I started using it in newsletters for parents as a way of grabbing their attention for key piece of information. It struck me how useful this would be as a way for children to summarise concepts, learning etc in one frame. Quite sure this is a site everyone is very familiar with already, but just in case...

You can also try Pixton for comics and domo animate for animations :)

This website allows you to create create their own comic strips andcomic books using the templates provided also using your own pictures..

As a teacher we must be able to create fun and creative learning. One of the things that can be done is by using technology. We can utilize the sophistication of technology as a medium in delivering material in learning. One of them is making online practice questions using quizizz https://quizizz.com/login. How to use it is quite easy, you only need to create an account and you can already create practice questions. I think making practice questions fun with quizizz can help increase the motivation and enthusiasm of elementary school students. So we as teachers don't get tired of always creating interesting things. Thank you!

A useful article giving very practical and constructive ideas of how to benefit students using ICT.

I stopped to read the provided key points about screen time for kids together with its corresponding article because, it has been always a topic in my mind when friends share their disapproval about TV watching. I always back up my thoughts by considering that the problem is not the amount of screen they have but, the purpse for its use. Unfortunately, I believe many parents use TV or simile, as baby sitters, this I consider negative. While reading these articlaes, my ideas became clearer and on paper! Technology, many times neglected by old-fashioned teaching teachers, is often considered in the same way and, I truly believe that it must be also considered something positive, enhancing and motivating if used wisely.

Besides all the online applications, programs, tools and games .. screen time is equally important for kids. The article also rejects the myths that parents and teachers have in minds regarding screen time. This perspective can be changed in to positivity by by proper monitoring of kids during screen time.

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.
