Presentation January 27 2010

Here's a brief summary of my presentation "Websites for teachers and teaching"

Issuu

Issuu allows you to read a wide variety of magazines, reports and documents online. You can also publish your own material. It's visually attractive and there are lots of magazines on a wide range of subjects.

Game Classroom

Game Classroom is a collection of educational games to use with young learners.

Great site - Virtual Museum of Iraq

I've had a quick play with the virtual museum of Iraq site - It's visually attractive and interactive and could be used in the classroom.

Wander round the halls, read descriptions of key exhibits and look at short video clips. Students would need quite a high level to get something from the site. You could ask students to explore a different period and then report back or you could set up your own treasure trail.
