ICT in Primary Education

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.

It's a free visual bookmarking tool. It helps you compile and organise sites under a specific topic. You can share your symbaloo with your students and help them navigate only on specific sites rather than the whole web. You can also add ready-made webmixes by other teachers.

Great resource! thank you for sharing!

I was introduced to this bookmarking tool at the beginning of the year. It is an absolutely amazing tool. Your bookmarks anywhere and on any device. love it.

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.

This site has over 250 good e-books for children as well as fun maths activities.

Really interesting game based learning for cell science from Queen Mary University links in with research done at the university.

A wealth of categorised tools!

Thanx for sharing this lins, i find it very useful. Well-organized site, i took much helpful inforrmation from it.

You name it you have it there.

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

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.

A stunning animation of our solar system. Lovely to help students see the BIG picture...

Lots of online games to support the development of core numeracy and literacy skills. pupils can play alone or compete in competitions with classmates or students around the world. As a teacher you can track their progress, monitors strengths and weaknesses and control the topics & levels students work at.

If you are thinking about moving to a 1:1 computing strategy or are considering Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) or Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategies then you need to know what technology your pupils have access to. The Your Own Technology Survey (YOTS) is a free tool to help schools and researchers better understand the digital technology available to their students at home, whether they are willing, able and allowed to bring it to school on a regular basis, and how that technology might be utilized to enhance educational outcomes.

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.

Great App to make video presentations with slides. You are featured in the video while you explain the slides throughout the presentation.
