Thank you so much for this reference. I have been thinking about learning the Web 2.0 tools. Your reference "gave me a real a kick" :). Can't imagine the mordern teaching without using these wonderful tools, can't imagive a teacher witout applying them in their work. Glad that NOW I am not among "the know-nothing-about-the Web 2.0' .

Thank you for this link!! it's really interesting not only for Primary School but also Secondary. This tool is growing every day step by step.

This is a great tool to use. My kids really enjoy it. When we were doing the PYP Exhibition 25 out of the 27 children in my class chose to do their reflections on padlet, so much easier to mark than taking 27 books home.

I have visited this site many times and found great tools there, too!

Excellent, well-organised site and with enlightening information about each tool.

I use Edmodo in my school too and it is a great tool to communicate with students and parents, share resources with other teachers, assess, provide feedback... There are many things to do there!

Edmodo was used in my previous school, it's like a learning-based version of facebook. Teachers can post links and videos for students to do their study at home, and it's easy for teachers to check on each student's progress and response rate.

I use it regularly too in my classes. I post useful links for students , videos we watch in the class, reinforcements, etc

Awesome tool, will need whole school approach though which may be difficult for government schools and or third world countries where these platforms or use of technology is only made available at privileged school and rarely at home.

awesome too. Our school is using a different app but I would like to try this especially for my own school to see how it works with my teachers and students.

I love it! I think it's a way of making parents close to what happen at class, as well as an amusing way of creating a relation with the students, it's not the conventional and serious way to which I am used to. I'll use it for sure.

I have used Edmodo and it is a very good application to share content with the students, you can share websites links interesting for them. Besides, students can share too.

Thanks a lot for the reference! Now everything will be systematised and organized not only on my desk but also in my head :)

A really great resource, especially as a bank of useful links after the online educational course or sth.

Like it, easy for children to create their own, as you suggest, book cover. Technology in kids hands should evoke creativity and not only be a means of media consumption.

A very useful tool. Can be used for creative designing.

We can practice adjectives, nouns , verbs, adverbs. We can make them to create Noun Cloud. :) That would be awesome. It motivates children to create some very personalize. They would chose the shapes for their group of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, articles, etc.

Which is a good software to help students (4-5 yrs) prepare a simple slideshow or arrange pictures in a logical sequence (eg. transformation of a butterfly from egg to adult)?

There are a lot of different ways of using word clouds as far as EFL is concerned. You name it: 1) predict the content of a text e.g. topics, style, purpose, etc. 2) writing or speaking prompts 3) reading comprehension questions just, then comparing answers after reading the actual text 4) summarise a presentation 5) identify or create the key words to a text 6) expanding vocabulary (definitions, synonyms, antonyms, or brainstorm words associated with a new one, match parts of collocations) 7) explore a topic (students add own ideas to a question stimulus & build a cloud) 8) student ice-breaker 9) highlight examples of misspelled or overused words in student writing by inputting their own work 10) 'grammar game' e.g. students classify words from a cloud into different parts of speech or different tenses 11) 'sentence structure' game e.g. input a complex sentence or short series of sentences into a word cloud, and have students reconstruct them in the correct word order 12) 'memory game' e.g. show a word cloud, take it off the screen, students write as many words as they can recall 13) identify parts of speech (students highlight or underline in different colours) 14) Students pre-assessing their own knowledge and understanding - "What does something mean to me?" as in a KWL chart

Hi you also use this Online RSN to BSN Degree Program for more knowledge and acknowledgement.

I have seen these in classrooms. They definitely seem to help the students.

My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.

My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.

I as a teacher love scratch. And of course for the students too, scratch is fun way of learning.

I am began teaching coding this semester in my computer lab. I haven't played with scratch too much but look forward to using with my kids next week.

I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.

The main advantage of this tool is that the poster can be seen at any time and that it allows the integration of diferent videos, songs and so on into the poster.

This looks amazing! Thanks for the link.

i use http://www.codecademy.com/ to learn myself ... and for the kids http://www.tynker.com/

There is also scratch.mit.edu/ , fantastic for computer programming. Hopscotch and Tynker are iPad applications that you can use, they are free. I agree code.org is fantastic, the hour of code occurs in December.
