News update

Recently I was involved in delivering some professional development with regards strategies and techniques for teaching literacy.   As part of the programme I created a website for sharing ideas most of which had been gathered from pinterest among other online sources.

You can access the site and the associated pinterest board which I produced for the literacy programme below:

• Literacy Website
• Literacy ideas pinterest board

Now following on from this I have started a pinterest board containing ideas and resources relating to educational technology to be used in connection and support with this sharing it.  You can access the Edtech pinterest board here.

Literacy Ideas

Now this is a little off topic however I thought it worthwhile to share my Literacy mini-site with you.     We are all literacy teachers as every subject has its own specific and/or technical language which we must teacher our students.

The literacy site was put together following a literacy training event in order to facilitate the sharing of ideas and resources much in the same way that this site was designed to do.

If you are interested please feel free to pop over to the site and see if there are any useful ideas, or to comment.

ICT Champions

Following some discussions with teachers the ICT Champions website has just seen some changes to try and make it more usable.    The Apps and Software are now split into categories to make it easier to find what you are looking for.   These categories can either be accessed by the categories down the right hand side of the screen or via the menu in the top right, where a series of sub-menus listing the categories have now been added to the Apps and Software menu.

I hope you find these new changes useful.
