ICT in Primary Education

Hello, as an individual who has both worked and volunteered with children with physical and intellectual disabilities I am very interested in how ICT can be used in classrooms to aid in their learning and improve their learning environment. This is a simple website with basic information if there is another one which is exceedingly better please let me know !!!

Here is one, http://www.shambles.net/pages/staff/ITSEN/

Muy interesante la información, gracias por compartir!

The Kidsmart website has been written by Childnet International, a non-profit organisation working to help make the internet a great place for children. Resources specially produced for the website are the result of a wide consultation with officials from the Department for Education & Skills (DfES) and British Educational Communications & Technology Agency (BECTA), as well as other charities, police liaison officers, school teachers, Local Education Authorities (LEA), ICT co-ordinators, and parents and pupils themselves.

NetSmartz Workshop is an interactive, educational program of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) that provides resources to help teach children how to be safer on- and offline. The program is designed for children ages 5-17, and provides resources such as videos, games, activity cards, and presentations for parents and guardians, educators, and law enforcement. Site's contents are in English and although there are no captioned or translated videos, some texts are also available in Spanish.

"The very tool designed to level the playing field is, in fact, un-leveling it," they wrote in a 2012 book based on their Philadelphia library study. With the spread of educational technology, they predicted, "the not-so-small disparities in skills for children of affluence and children of poverty are about to get even larger."

This looks like it could be interesting for Unit 5 of the ICT in Primary Education course, if you have the time!

Keep up great work! Thank you for sharing!

"L'iPad en classe de français, un outil pertinent?"

some useful tools for getting started.

Stage 1 Sign up to twitter following persuasion/pestering by colleagues. Follow Stephen Fry, a famous sportsman/popstar and a news channel. Read a few tweets, don't understand what the fuss is about and mock anyone who uses twitter. Stage 2 Overhear colleagues chatting about twitter and a great article they found.

Interested in creating blogs for kids? There are lots of blogs around and many of them are geared toward youngsters. One thing you must do when producing blogs for children is to make sure that your content is appropriate for the little loved ones - warm and friendly.

This is a very informative resource

Thanks for sharing! It is a great resource!

Thanks for sharing. It is very interesting and informative too.

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.

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!

This sixth K-12 edition describes annual findings from the NMC Horizon Project, an ongoing research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on teaching, learning, and creative inquiry.

Great tool to be in course of education ntws, programs, reports etc.

I am interested in learning more about flipped classrooms in elementary. This is very helpful!

I didn't quite understand the tool - but I have now an account and I found many interesting articles related to the topics that I am interested in.
