Worth a look for our grade 4-6 bloggers!

his activity will be spread over at least a week. It combines skills from both the language and ICT programmes of study and is ideal for years 5 and 6. After introducing what an auction is, pupils produce a professional-looking auction catalogue and then hold their own auction with a bid limit of 50p. The spreadsheet is set up to automatically analyse and graph sales patterns in the auction. The session ends with an antiques quiz.

A series of flash lessons/tutorials you can run over a 6 week course. The images for the Ken Burns lesson are all CC licensed but you could easily change the topic if you wanted to - providing a set of images to work from is a HUGE timesaver and avoids spending the first 30 minutes browsing

Have used two of these and they are pretty damn useful. Grade 5-6 you will be into these next year. Anyone tried Stupeflix or One true let me know.

OMG some very cool use of web2.0 tech here. What could we use?

One to stir people up, Learning Styles as a myth. Could be good as a reading with Grade 6's?!

QR codes around the school. Now how many devices will we have in grades 5-6?

Wortha read, especially for the useful and frank ideas about starting blogging. Good for the greade 4-6 classes!

Little and often, how could we get this into place in our 1 computer classroom?

The Blogs O' Persuasion are a set of blogs devoted to 6th grade student viewpoints on a variety of controversial topics. We are using blogging as the platform for students to share their persuasive writing with other students, teachers, and the world! We would welcome any comments for the students' posts, so please let them know what you think. The skills and knowledge that we are addressing through this project are: Evaluating websites and other online resources to gather research and data to support their persuasive position on a topic Collaborating with others and sharing research sources - we used a Google Form to gather sources and posted all the useful links in the Link Library of each blog Writing persuasively! Writing in a digital space. We taught the students how to use hypertext as linktribution and as a means of enriching the readers' experience. Some students also learned how to add CC licensed images to their posts and give proper attribution. Being good digital citizens. We taught the students about using comments appropriately to communicate with their peers about their posts. Some very cool goals done in an authentic and in an interesting way.

Another excellenat list of tech stuff
