This is really interesting. And somewhat disturbing. Another reason for using ICT in our teaching as a matter of course rather than as something exciting.

This is something new from Google. It is in beta testing at the moment. I think it is pretty cool and dead simple to use. If you are familiar with myHistro you probably find this a little more user friendly.
I use an app called Ghostery to block website tracking. It is very interesting that I was unable to upload photos until I stopped blocking Google Analytics and Google +1.
Never the less, a user friendly teaching tool.

This site allows you to 'paint' with words. Simply type in the text (a single word or a longer passage) then choose a text size and colour. Click on the main screen, move your mouse and the words will be 'painted'. You can save your work too.

This is seriously cool! Developed by Tim Holman, along with a bunch of other really cool things, Texter lets you create images with words. In lots of different colours:) My first thought was to use Texter when I give my learners new vocabulary at the start of a unit. After they have developed understanding of the new vocab I want to challenge them to creat an image using the words to illustrate the meaning of the words. Any thought?

Curtin University is proud to announce that it is the Australian organiser for participation in the 2014 UNEP-DHI Eco Challenge 2.0.
Water is essential for all life as we know it. A simple fact that sometimes feels forgotten as political and commercial interests take priority.
UNEP-DHI Eco Challenge 2.0 provides an exciting and authentic learning experience for students aged 11-17 through the online strategic game "Aqua Republica". Addressing national curriculum priority dimensions of Sustainability and Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia the experience provides many learning opportunities across Social Studies, Science, Humanities, Health and Physical Education, English, Geography, and more.

Love this image - technology is a tool we can either use badly or effectively; its not the 1 answer we should expect to work without any effort!

So many of the educational discussions these days are touting the newest technologies (many of which I embrace). Too many though, I fear, are willing to abandon tried and true "old school" pedagogical strategies in an attempt to incorporate the latest and greatest. Just because it's new doesn't inherently make it better. This video is a comical reminder that some old technologies and old strategies are worth keeping. Let's keep some paper in the educational system.

You've more than likely seen this already, but I think it is worth sharing. I love technology. I love using it in the classroom. But it is just a tool - a crap teacher with a laptop is still a crap teacher. I firmly believe that there is room for the traditional as well as the innovative. Enjoy:)

Useful tools or not? Love to hear what others are thinking about these or other tools. |
Our school is hosting this event in a few weeks time. If you're based in Singapore, or SE Asia you should look at coming to this. It will be great!
