ICT in Primary Education

A few years old now, but still a great resource. Lots of videos from primary (and secondary) pupils carrying out innovative, interesting and fun science experiments. A great source of ideas and inspiration for your next science lesson.

Great resources here for a variety of curricular subjects. Many are free on becoming a member and more on subscription.

This is quite a good website with a good variety of subjects and age groups.

I agree the website does have numerous possibilities for youth of all ages.

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!

Developed by Becky Herr-Stephenson and Meryl Alper with Erin Reilly and an introduction by Henry Jenkins, this report focus on transmedia in the lives of children aged 5 to 11 and its applications to storytelling, play and learning.

Report by Erin Relly, Vanessa Vartabedian, Laurel J. Fert and Henry Jenkins which elaborates on the five principles of participatory learning (exercise creativity, co-learning, motivation and engagement, relevance and learning ecosystem) and shares insights from 11 teachers who oriented their classrooms according to these principles including triumphs and discoveries, challenges identified, and suggestions for fostering participatory learning environments.

Article referred to in the P21Commoncore document. The link is broken. A very good read and useful in establishing sound assessment values.

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

effective

I didn't know what a DM was! Now I know. Interesting to see what we need

Thank you for this link - really helpful! I have a lot of colleagues who do not feel confident about their use of ICT in the classroom and in school - I am going to show them this to support their skills that they already have!

ideas for just about everything to do with the classroom

I love this website!!! This will be great for when I need resources in my future clasroom.
