ICT in Primary Education

I use this resource in my teaching. It's great especially for maths games to consolidate learning.

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!

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

Graphite is a free service from Common Sense Media that makes it easy to discover the best apps, games, and websites for classroom use. Tools like Edmodo, Educreations, ClassDojo, and Socrative have been thoroughly reviewed by our expert educators and received numerous teacher reviews we call Field Notes.

Children take their first critical steps toward learning to read and write very early in life. The role of teachers in this process is of critical importance. Plain teaching can be easily enriched with a touch of online free educational tools that can make them more attractive to young learners.

Enjoy these fun grammar games for kids. Find a range of free interactive exercises and practice activities that are perfect for helping students learn English.

Thank you very much. Very useful page!

A game-based classroom response system. You can create and play quizzes, discussions or even surveys (which we call Kahoots) using any device with a web browser… including a laptop, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android, Chromebook, Windows Phone or PC and more.

We cannot take for granted that teachers are confident with technology. This reality is present in Maltese schools. Teachers need help and support and they prefer to ask their peers for help instead of the authorities.

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.
