Here’s a fun little tool that could liven up the way you present information – or make a class writing task a little more fun.

The newspaper generator lets you put your own text into a few boxes, and then generates an authentic looking newspaper article containing your text.

The finished product is very authentic, and quite impressive.

You have to save your image and host it elsewhere if you want to use it online, but it is a very quick process to host it on Flickr or similar.

IWBs and Interactivity

Posted on May 3, 2008 in Interactive Whiteboards, Presentations | 0 comments

One thing that a lot of people get wrong is that they believe that the IWB is inherently Interactive. That just by using it, they are making their lessons interactive. This is something I try and get across in my training sessions – that you need to work a little to put the Interactive into Interactive Whiteboard.

From a posting on Classroom2.0 I came across this fantastic presentation that challenges teachers to think about how they are using this great piece of technology. I’m reposting it here, but please go to the original post to show your appreciation.
