Introduction to ICT.

Today I was introduced to useful websites and resources to help with teaching. The website that we first got introduced to in class was Internet detective, it tells you about researching online and how to find out if the information is correct or false. It also shows you how to find out information about the author, publisher, etc for if you want to reference that website.

Hot Potatoes program can help you create quizzes, word searches, etc. It is simple and easy to use which is great, and for teachers sometimes we don’t have hours to create something interactive to do in a lesson, so this tool is perfect as it does all the hard work in a short amount of time.

Wordle is great to give to students for buzz words, research, and terminology, exam revision, etc. Wordle arranges the words into an image that can be costumed. Both of these programs you can download and use online so they are both portable programs. Below are the links for all of these programs I have talked about.
