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).
- Scimorph is a new augmented reality site which teaches you about gravity and bacteria. Print the marker provided, place it in front of your web cam and interact with Scimorph while he teaches you! Thanks to @mbarrow for sharing this.
- 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.
