On this page I’ll post links to ICT across the curriculum resources that I’ve used or found. Enjoy!

The first link is to Twitter – hands down the best CPD tool I’ve ever come across. Thousands of educators from across the world communicating, collaborating and thinking about learning. I’m challenged and inspired every day by people on there. To follow me, on Twitter, click here.

If you’re still not convinced just follow some of the people I follow for a little while, I guarantee you will get some fabulous ideas.

Here is a wonderful Google Document – The Little Book of Superb Sites for Teachers by Mark Anderson (the ICT Evangelist). It’s a great resource and well worth a look:
Little Book of Superb Sites

Audacity – Record, edit & generally play around with audio. Free too!

Prezi – Not PowerPoint! 🙂 Seriously though, this is a really powerful and easy to use presentation tool.

Storybird – Collaborative storytelling. You add the text. Wonderful for MFL.
