interactive game could be used to help develop content vocabulary and to practice student spelling lists. Good for small group actives or whole class. 

This is a great resource, many schools are using Jolly phonics, and this allows students to interact with their learning.

Years 7 and 8 roughly. It's fun, students can observe and interact with each other.

This is a literacy resource for prep children. I like the use of images as this is age appropriate. The main concern I would have is that it is quite limited in the number of examples of rhyming words given.

This flip chart introduces students to fractions. I would be using this with my 4/5 class. I have just used this through the ACTIVInspire program and it looks great. It is colourful with images and hidden answers for students to find.

Learning area of History for Year 10. I like the images of comparison between contemporary Melbourne and historical Melbourne. Problems could be students from other Australian states not relating to pictures from Melbourne. 

I thought I'd post this short movie. It's an example of ICT activities being done in a class I had my last practicum in. It is a simple activity that the teacher did, using ICTs that were readily availble.. The teacher takes a traditional printed text being used in guided reading (PM readers) and helps the students produce a digital text based on the language used in the original text. Students select images from google images and then use a digital camera to take photos or video, and manipulate the images using IWB software, to place themselves in the digital text. The images are uploaeded into Movie Maker where additonal text, ddialogue and sound are added. The finished artefact is then uploaded toYouTube so that it can be placed on the school website for sharing. The students and their families can view the new digital text at home. The movie is also presented at the school assembly. The teacher does ICT activities like this on a regular basis in English. If you google Tyalgum Public School and click on More News you can view other ICT activities the Kindergarten, Year , Year 2 class did. I think this type of ICT activity gives the students a sense of ownership of their learning.

This is a great activity. Just emphasises how important it is that we know how to use all of these ICTs in the classroom because if we don't know them this activity could take a long time or ICTs wouldn't be used in such a great way. Out of interest how long did it take?

While perhaps not 100% perfect for use in a school, this is a sign of things to come. A day when those Interactive White Boards are seen as klunky and old-fashioned.

How times have changed since the good old Overhead Projector! I remember the days where the teacher would have folders of plastic with class notes on them and having the now very ancient projector on the table. Whereas now the amazing things that projectors and even whiteboards can do has really enhanced the learning environment.

Clocks for students to manipulate

I believe this resource aided a yr 6 students learning from my professional experience that was having difficulty gaining understanding of these angles. I also believe that the vision of the clock assisted her learning.

My (prep/1) mentor has told me I will be teaching persuasive texts. This was actually the only flipchart that came up in a search but I think with some scaffolding would be suitable for the age range.

I think this resource would be valuable for any grade between 1-4, learning place values. I like that it isn't overly complicated, and it is simplified enough for students to be able to work it themselves. There may be some issues with some of the students remembering the place values when the different columns are not marked properly.

This will be a great resource for early childhood teachers to use. It is a very bright, colourful visual display of the days of the week that the children are expected to learn. Great opportunity to collaborate as a whole class.

An overview of different apps and how they are used in the classroom. Also some great info and links regarding the use of IWBs
