ICT in classrooms - life is about experimenting!

The more observant among you will have noticed that I have been trying out some new ICT tools in the classroom. Obvivously you will have seen the blog and Geography department website. I hope you have looked at them and used them.

Another tool is Deep Zoom - very exicting tool - I have talked about this in an earlier post. This tool can result in the 'wow' factor with students.
Powerpoint plex - this is a lot of fun and very useful for revision with year 11 but also for having all your previous powerpoints and resources from one unit in the same place. You can also embed word files and excel spreadsheets into the presentation. See next weeks posts for an example of how it works in class.

Photosynth - amazing photographic tool - log onto the website - some of the photos are fantastic - we in the geography department will be using it later in the week.

Later in the week I shall add more ideas and tools for use in the classroom including blogging (mirco-blogging) and wordle. I know that none of these ideas are particularly ground-breaking but rather just my experience of trying them in the classroom.
