Students create learning centres

Students from St Josephs School were shown how to create learning centres last term. They have been working hard to create learning centres to help other students learn French, this is also helping to consolidate their own language learning too. They have created links to pages and language activities.

Paint and Photostory show

One of the schools I work with as an ICTPD facilitator is Mt Albert Primary. The children from Angela's class (not me - another Angela!) created this show to share with other classes - they had a literacy focus on Myths and Legends. They loved recording their voices too. I just love their art work - aren't children just special!(Be patient - takes ages to buffer)

I wonder how long this will be free?

Brightstorms is a one stop maths tutoring site mainly for Intermediate/Secondary students. I will be passing this on to friends who have children studying hard for their maths NCEA levels - it has real maths tutors explaining all those tricky problems (I was not good at maths so I am really impressed with this) Check it out.

Create your own newspaper story

This is a great little tool for literacy in the classroom. Students put their own text into the generator and it converts it to a look alike newspaper article!

Innovative new entrant class

I have worked with Marist School in Herne Bay for nearly four years and I am so impressed with the way the teachers there embrace ICT tools as part of their classroom practice. Here are some pics of the new entrant class - these children use ICT tools as a natural part of their learning.
