here's ones I use/plan on using

I can't recommend Twitter highly enough as a fabulous place to share and exchange ideas!! Most of these have come from very clever people that I 'follow' on there.

Copy/Paste/ and add to PLEASE

We are just in the process of having prometheon boards fitted to most rooms so am really up for proper interactive stuff for geography and maths if anyone knows of some good sites?

Sometimes there seems to be just too much!

I have seen most of these before, bookmarked them - and then forgotten to use them!!

Thanks for the reminders!

Aw - am feeling a bit jealous! I love trying out new tec stuff, but am now in YR/Y1 and I just cannot do all this with them. Storing up ideas for if I am moved next year though.

Great thread!

Meant to use Scratch last year but never got around to it. I want to use voicethread and etherpad but need to think of ways of using them that really fit what we're doing.

Scratch is great, folks.
Ii showed my kids 2 years ago and put a link onto their wikkisite. They downloaded it at home. The next day a girl complained that it was downloaded at home but she didn't get a go because her Dad was on it all night!!!

Right now I feel about 100 and a real technophobe. Which of these would be worth looking at for Y2?

Google Earth is okay for Year 2 - link it to Barnaby Bear or other Geog stuff. Links easily to other subjects too.

I use pivot stick figure, which is free to download, for basic Year 2 animation projects.

Other stuff I would recommend (not necessarily for Year 2): lego digital designer, Tux Paint and Block cad lego.
