Great website with loads of resources to stimulate young minds

This website has a host of links to different resources. It will be very useful in the future I'm sure. Thank you for sharing.

Teachers considering the benefits of flipping the classroom and have an iPad available may want to try the following very reliable iPad Apps to assist with this endeavor. While it may seem a daunting task to put all of those into action with one's students, they are easy and actually fun to use and do not require a lot of technical skills and experience.

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..

It is always good to know that you can find out information about your country that you did not know exist. The information gathered here I would use to see if the Government is on track with what they say they would do with regards to ICT in the country.

Excellent website with video tutorials for using useful tech tools in the classroom. Great for those who lack confidence :-)

Project Noah was created to provide people of all ages with a simple, easy-to-use way to share their experiences with wildlife. It is intended to be a community for nature exploration and documentation.

About gamification in classrooms, an interesting website

Thanks joselociruelo. I tried a similar approach two years ago with high school adolescents when by chance I discovered Sheldon's book: 'The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game' (2011) http://goo.gl/7NBlhj . Results then were not as expected, maybe because of my students profile, maybe because of my personal adaptation. Having discovered Classcraft, I'll see if the graphic environment and mechanics fills the gap I couldn't make attractive enough to cover with my own improvised adaptations through PowerPoint slides.

Thank you for sharing. Games can be a really motivating source to engage students in class. It is a really interesting topic!

The Framework presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century and beyond.

A project in South Africa to train teachers in a rural area to "teach with ICTs". Tablets were used. 21st Century skills training was modeled during the 10 training sessions which was spread out over 30 weeks. A tremedoes amount of learning took place. I participated in the sustainability modelling which included Total Cost of Ownership calculations. This showed that tablet replacement could be up to 50% of the yearly operations costs.

Learning through production - An incredible app for creating ebooks. A great way for students to demonstrate learning and share with an audience.

Intriguing study on how children's interactions with artificial intelligence affect their perceptions of intelligence -- it would be interesting to see this study done with a larger group of students.

Hi, I am Tania Hernández and I want to share with you this app called Webex Meetings, it is very useful for students in this lockdown time because it enables teachers to teach through this app completely free. Also, teachers can share content to the students during the meeting.

Article by Teacher Librarian Michelle Harclerode with tips, detailed instructions and resources for students and teachers alike to produce book trailers as an audiovisual strategy to promote reading.

You're welcome gabymadera & carmen2014. I'm glad you found it helpful. If you make and upload your book trailers please share them. :)

Thanks for sharing. It's new for me and looks very interesting.

Dear Friends, I'm the new member of this family. It is great being with you and sharing the new stuff. Here i share Voki. I hope you like it. I sometimes use this web 2.00 tool with my primary school students and they do enjoy it.

Create interactive slides (Google or Microsoft), self-paced/Instructor-live sessions in class; you can assess students' progress with the takeaways or allow them to interact with dynamic activities. Great tool, created by teachers for students and teachers.

Learning to code means stepping out of your comfort zone, dealing with frustration, and leaning into discomfort.

https://scratch.mit.edu/ I saw this website where children can animate few cartoons. It can work as a prelude to learn coding. Here coding is very simple like jump 4 times or move three steps.

It could be useful even in schools that teaches thinking skills classes.

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!
