 * Educational Links **

 This page is set-up for those Educational links that help all teacher/students in finding tutorials for those sites that are multiple subject orientated.

A site for Mathematics Teachers, a Wiki that is not password protected and allows all Maths teachers to alter or add content, looks like it could be a nomination for Best Wiki 2010.

 * issuu **- A website that can store documents for you with unlimited file storage, your files where and when you need them. Explore thousands of magazine, reports and documents from around the world. Of course there is a catch, yes, it's free, but if you don't want advertising on your site then you have to pay, but heck, who cares about the ads, if most of what you want is free. A site you have to see to believe it. [[image:http://resource.issuu.com/email/event/common/bitmap/issuu_s_logotm.gif width="104" height="21" caption="Issuu" link="@http://issuu.com"]]

I've had a good look at this site, and all subject areas are catered for, as well as inspirational video, and they are long tedious videos. Example below:

Great for brainstorming. Not blocked for students. No need to sign up, no ads - just start a session and invite people to join via a unique URL. At the end, export your document to Word, PDF or HTML. Give it a go with your students in a computer lab (Mac or Windows of course). //Courtesy of Stu Hasic #yam//

Information Technology


This link will take you to a forum for all Software Design teachers and students. It is a forum that is designed to help students self help one another with occasional input from the teacher. I have two very smart programming students who wanted to administer the site and answer the questions teachers and students placed there, so help is always at hand, especially if the code is Python.

A rash statement as some would say, maybe, but read some of the Blogs, even sectioned off into faculty areas of learning, and you may change your mind if you start to look at some of the material you can use.

This site allows you to zoom in on any image on the Internet, a great tool for use on the Interactive Whiteboard.

Thanks to Phillipa Cleaves from the DER as this link is to her Wiki site housing the digital version of Blooms Taxonomy, and what a very apt tool it is considering the age we live in.
