It was great to get your reactions about the first of my LearningTech newsletters aimed at colleagues at my school. The feedback from staff was equally positive and so here is the second of the newsletters.

In this issue I have included some reminders about the joy that is Google Earth, we have an account about the use of the Nintendo DS in Year 4 from Helen Barrett (yes, my wife!) as well as the usual Tom’s Tech Tip and some web highlights.

As always I am happy to hear your suggestions and reactions to the newsletters and trust you find something useful for you or your staff in this issue.

(Special thanks to Toby Holman who sent over some of his school newsletters that he has been producing over the last few months, it was great to see how other people are producing them.)

Interesting Ways to use Voicethread, Wordle and the Nintendo DS

Interesting WaysPublished onUpdated on16 Comments on Interesting Ways to use Voicethread, Wordle and the Nintendo DS

It has been great to see the range of classroom ideas in the “Interesting Ways” series really expand and develop over time. It is always great to connect with a fellow educator and invite them to edit the various presentations.

The most recent presentations have included Voicethread and Wordle which are really great little tools and their flexibility is reflected in the wide range of ideas that people have offered.

We are about to kick off a Nintendo DS project at school, which you will hear more about here soon, and so I have been thrilled to see a bunch of ideas outlined by people with direct classroom experience of using the consoles. It will prove a useful set of current thinking for our teachers and I hope we’ll be able to contribute too.

I hope that you are finding the presentations useful. As always if you have an idea that you would like to contribute then just get in touch. Thanks for all of the support and contributions so far. (By the way the very first presentation on the IWB has just hit 40 different ideas!)
