This is a great website that I found, it is primarily set up for Pre-Service Teachers to help them build their ICTE (Information, Communication and Technology in Education) capabilities. It even has little packages that you can log into the site with your Scootle account and look at practical hints and tips on integrating ICTs into your lessons in English, History, Maths and Science. Easy to use and quite informative. Has a lot of information about TPACK too :) the packages come in three areas, early childhood, upper primary/lower secondary and years 9/10. There is even reflective video clips from Pre-Service Teachers that have used these packages.

This is a great example of a teacher using ICT's in the classroom and provides some great example for all of primary age students.

From another Diigo site. Reading to Learn is one of the world's most powerful literacy programs. It is designed to enable all learners at all levels of education to read and write successfully, at levels appropriate to their age, grade and area of study. The Reading to Learn strategies have been independently evaluated to consistently accelerate the learning of all students at twice to more than four times expected rates, across all schools and classes, and among students from all backgrounds and ability ranges.

The students in pre primary loved this game last week. It really consolidated their learning about the need to water their plants.

Written by Paul Lockhart in 2002, this is how I view mathematics, and shows at least in part, how I share the beauty of math with my students. Who would have thought you could come to my classroom to learn about electronics only to encounter such things as pattern recognition; something so basic it should have been taught in primary school....

Stumbled across this website while trying to find out how to integrate ICTs with only an interactive whiteboard in the classroom. Looks like some good reading

A 2012 blog post from a Melbourne teacher with a range of examples (prior posts) about how technology has been integrated into learning.

I found this while looking for Australian teacher blogs. This blog has a lot of teaching strategies and plenty of 'freebies' that the blogger has created for the classroom.

Found this through Pinterest, has some cute ideas and videos that help with younger students skip counting :-)

Miss Jacobs' Little Learners is a great blogspot! It is aimed at Early Years education and the post contain great ideas for the classroom.

Very detailed posts about resources, lesson ideas, classroom organisation, stress management and more.

Naace - Advancing education through technology. Dated 2000, so may be too dated to be relevant

1000s of free resources that most of the teachers at my work use. It is great as based in UK so has similar spelling to us. Some interactive but mostly printed resources. Invaluable.

I have used this site for years within my daycare class. I love it to bits, awesome resources. I have also seen my son's current teacher use resources from this site too. Great free printable resources. Every teachers dream.
