Cool sites and links

Maths Links- Totally forgot about this cool site! mathzlinks.wikispaces.com and Jet Ski addition http://www.arcademicskillbuilders.com/games/jetski/jetski.html Great free resources for teachers to take away the time searching for "stuff" (pepnonprofit.com) and a fun one: build your wild self! mutt maker on animal planet for descriptive writing.

Dear Abby
Issues with CM in the cloud for BDS :o( discussion for e-asttle.

Cloud Computing- Why do it? Cost? Options?
EPS- stored email at Gmail- Using Google you can share apps/docs etc so you can have all shared documents like timetables and planning online and you can share them. Kids can get a dashboard- webpage- blog- spreedsheets-surveys etc

Mobile Learning at EPS-
ipad- Voice Plus Application- read story and check pace etc- "change voice for fun- underwater for example.
Zombie Maths- blow up the zombie before it get to the cannon.
Puppet Pals- Read a story and get your charachers to act it out
Dictation/italk/voice memo/word wizard/etc
Comic Life-Spella- word avalanche(free)
Maths game- Star School (Times Rap)
Reading stories
I-pods- much like the ipad- 8 per class so can run a group.
Maths Bingo- word hangman

A very cool day and look at some fabulous apps... guess who wants an ipad now........
