Here are links to some of the new resources that I’ve discovered via my Twitter network:
- BBC Wildlife Finder (from @mrstucke) – Watch videos of the most amazing animals in the world, from the BBC.
- You can now follow the fantastic Primary Resources site on Twitter – @primarystuff
- Use this amazing ‘Punched Out‘ font for your classroom displays and learning activities. The font makes printed nets of different letters. Just cut them out and stick them together.
- Try out ThinkDraw to create and rate pictures using a range of objects and colours. Thanks to @simonhaughton.
- Schools are now starting to develop their own iPhone apps as a way of sharing news and information with parents. Try the new application from Porchester Junior School (via @xannov).
- Google have added an ‘Ocean Showcase‘ feature to Google Earth. Looks like a wonderful resource for schools (thanks to @dajbelshaw).
- The wonderful BBC Primary History site now has a ‘World History’ section. Suggested by @simonhaughton.
- Wikipedia have a ‘Simple English‘ version which uses simple words and grammar, making it much easier for children to read and understand. Recommended by @tombarrett.
