IWB Delicious
NeoK12 is a very useful site that catalogues thousands of educational videos for teachers and students to use. They are grouped by topic – with a particular emphasis on Science, but also Social Studies, Maths and Literacy.
There are also links to images and quizzes which could prove handy.
Many of the videos come from YouTube, so [...]
One of the benefits of using videos on an IWB in Science lessons is for those moments when you want to demonstrate something that is just too dangerous to do in the classroom.
This is particularly true when demostrating the reaction of Alkali Metals with water. You can demonstrate small pieces, but it’s a little dull. [...]
YouTube is an excellent resource to use in schools but the biggest problem is quite often some of the offensive comments that invariably get left below popular clips. When showing clips on your interactive whiteboard, you don’t really want to be showing those comments to your class.
YouTube XL is one way to get around that. [...]
Teaching Videos is a great new free website from Mark Warner – you may know him from other educational websites such as Ideas to Inspire, Display Photos, and Teaching Ideas.
Teaching Videos is intended to be a place where teachers and view and share educational videos that can be used in the classroom. Whilst you can [...]
A discussion around the use of games and gaming at Amplifed Education at BETT 2010. We had a very interesting discussion and could have gone on for hours on this topic.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Leon Cych at Teachmeet SUKE last week, and he was telling us about the great things he’d seen when a class of kids were given an iPod Touch each.
Here’s his video which shows more:
You can view the video at Blip.tv here. The movie was filmed at Burnt [...]

The study examined whether Promethean’s ActivClassroom had an impact at different grade levels and across different academic content areas in schools around the US.

YouTube has now launched a new section of its famous video sharing website that organizes the video channels of more than 100 colleges and universities. It’s called YouTube Edu.
The idea is to flag up the educational videos to make them easier to find. It’s a little similar (and I would guess shares very similar content) [...]
I ran a training day last week for a college where we looked at Visualisers (sometimes called Document Cameras). Through the day we tried out some different things that you could do and I took some screen grabs.
I have put the screengrabs, and a few photographs from the day into a short presentation. Hopefully it [...]
