Learning chocolate for NESB learners

I found this site with activities for matching pronunciation and pictures and other activities. It does have an US accent but never-the-less could have good uses for independent work or working at home. http://www.learningchocolate.com/

Creating On-line games with www.what2learn.com

I created this game on What 2 Learn for the children in my class. It was easy to create and embed. There are several options to choose from and I think it will be a hit with my class. It's free, just sign up and create different versions of games following the easy steps. Once completed submit, play to check it thoroughly and select the embed code on the right hand side in 3 size options and copy and paste to your class blog. Easy, children could even create their own.

Google Docs

Having recently been introduced to the use of Google docs for on-line collaborative surveys and questionaires by Kathy P. and seeing the great benefit for class and school use in the future. I decided to become more familiar with the tool and prepare to use this independently with my class in the future. I found this to be very helpful.

Leaf shaped Autumn Words with Tagxedo

http://www.tagxedo.com/art/997baab1bf11468c

We are focusing on vocabulary and this would be a great way and easy for the children to accomplish a great visual image in a shape form using Tagxedo.
Run the mouse over the words to see them become interactive and move. Fun!

Having Fun with Glogster

The children in my class are going to have lots of fun creating these in groups. Each child can add something to it for a graffiti about water and even add their own sound effects. Looking forward it.

On-line graphing for kids

Have just trialled using http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/index.asp which has an easy to use on-line graphing tool.  The graph can be saved in a variety of formats and imported to easily to blogs etc.  For this example I have used small packets of m and m's or similar sweets to discuss fractions and statistics with a year 3 and 4 class.
