This site is the Homepage for NSW and is jam-packed with brilliant links for parents, teachers and kids too! The audiofiles and videos are excellent teacher professional development with titles like: Talking with Text, Numeracy at Home, Using the Empty Number LIne and speakers like Prof. Freebody discussing Literacy in our schools! Many of the links could be worth advertising in our schools' Newsletters/Bulletins as we head up to NLNW activities!
A great site for teachers explaining David Hyerle's Thinking Maps (8 only); has great video clip too!Thinking tools are graphic organisers that enable students to engage in independent thinking and learning.
