This half term I am providing some voluntary training workshops in school on a real variety of different exciting topics, tools and concepts that I believe will be extremely important in the definition of a modern classroom embedding ICT and making the most of web 2.0.
- Infomapper
- ArtRage2 – this is amazing and a valuable addition to the schools software. I will post more about it soon.
- Google Earth
- Flickr
- Classroom Blogging
- 2Simple’s 2Connect and 2Investigate
These (not in any particular order, although I am delivering the ArtRage2 work tomorrow) will be short 45 minute sessions that any member of staff can come along to. I have already delivered some work last Tuesday on Infomapper that utilises OS data sets (bought by the LA).
Hi Tom
Sounds as if you are going to be pretty busy again !!! I like Art Rage our link school in New Zealand has used it, plus another art package called Tux Paint – http://www.tuxpaint.org/ it is pretty neat too worth a look.
Also give this blog a look it’s a teacher from Joe Dale’s school on the Isle of Wight- http://nodehillenvironmental.typepad.com/ it contains some neat mp3 weather reports.
Good Luck Paul
