The posts on http://leadinglearningatbsmprimary.blogspot.com/ will begin again now after a break for the summer. Before I add any more updates can I remind you to visit the blog regularly to read updates and interesting bits and pieces to help spice up the learning in your classrooms.
Just a couple of sites I've discovered over the break that are bound to feature largely in our work this year and beyond. Please explore (and register if you have the time) and consider how they would be useful for your class this year, any other classes in the school, parents etc... As always: consider how you can fold this into your day-to-day learning offer...
The Khan Academy - free - bite-sized videos with activities, games and 'points' for application. This is the sort of thing BSM would produce if we had the time!! Think about how we could add to this (particularly for the younger children - although lots of this is at a lower level too.)
MathTrain - similar to the Khan Academy - but made by children!
(So maybe BSM should make the time!) - there are also adult-made videos too.
These sites would be ideal for a guided group situation for learning new skills and concepts and practising. Education City is great for practising a new skill but these sites help you learn too.
Maybe we could think about developing MathTrain - but in another area? Science? Writing? Hmmm....
