Gizmo's Freeware - 0 views

  •  
    This site requires free registration and then sends only one email a day with the latest top picks on freeware. This is where I heard about Instagrok and others. It is well worth the time reading every day or so to build resources.

    This Pinterest page was contributed by a fellow tweeter, Matt, and has his pinboard of resources for students with special needs. It's UK based, but has some info re how to make literacy accessible to students with dyslexia/reading difficulties. You will need to sign up for TES Connect but it's free.

    More for actual teachers as need to sign up, but you can have a free trial. Teachers at my work use this a lot for letter recognition and literacy practice. Something to keep for future - great for early childhood and special ed.

    This site is Australian and really switched on. It has a newsletter that keeps teachers current with latest education info, has resources that are fantastic (like cool Bloom's stickers, teacher diary and so on). I've been subscribed to them for years and have benefitted so sharing my toolbelt.

instaGrok | A new way to learn - 1 views

    I got this from a website I am subscribed to - Gizmo freeware. We think that Google is the way to always find stuff, but try this and see what you get. You type in what you want to know, and a mind map opens up on the topic. You can then click on each bubble and it extends! Fantastic.
