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.

I would love to know everyone's thoughts on the interactive whiteboard and whether you like or dislike it?

I found this while looking for statistics on children using computers. Would love your thoughts on what you think? I couldn't believe the statistics. Had to really think about it, and I am a tad worried with the results! check out my blog for the results on how children use the internet.
Fantastic site for ECE and Special Ed that encourages critical thinking. Has a vast range of activities from music to maths to more, that are very play-based and mostly educational. Take a look Special Ed and Early Childhood people!
Getting a handle on numbers, their magnitude and relationship can be difficult for adults, let alone students. This is an example of where published data from the EU statistics agency is being brought into Minecraft to support visualisation.
