Richard Byrne has listed a whole series of tools that look interesting to trial in the classroom.
The ones I’m looking at are:
… which looks like a normal multi-user wordpress account but has options to grade assignments etc built in.
SpiderScribe
… another online mindmapping tool but with the bonus of being able to add files, calendar events etc.
Daqri
… a service for creating augmented reality products without needing to code. Fun, perhaps, to have round school next to displays? (Still in private beta)
The History of English in 10 Minutes
… Good to get children thinking of language as an evolving thing (as well as something that needs to be spelled correctly)
Minigroup
… possibly for communicating with parents?
Open Yale Courses
… because igottalottolearn
Weaving History
… a site that lets you “weave” dates, facts, and places on timelines and google maps. Nice idea … would be good if you export an animation of the results. Anyroad …
