I consider myself a somewhat digital native - I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a gaming console or computer in the house, albeit an atari or an amiga 500 which were both pioneers in the technology field. As you can see - quite primitive. But I still love, holding and reading a good book.\n\nKeeping that in mind I know I have nothing on what our little ones are coming into the world with today. Super fast broadband internet, a myriad of mobile and tablet technologies.\n\nMy love of books and many from my generation probably do also but I doubt the amount of our current digital natives would choose a physical book when items like the iPad give such engaging alternatives.\n\n

Very simply I want to expose you to a variety of websites and Web 2.0 tools that I have found work well for enhancing your literacy programme and ways that I have used them.\nAnd then I want to be able to give you time to play so that you might be able to find other ways that you might be able to use them in your class to suit your programmes. \nI also encourage you to continue playing with them all in your own time - best way to learn.\n
Low ability readers - it’s like having another teacher in the class. If they get stuck on a word they can click it to have it read to them.\nView in a variety of ways - doesn’t have to be interactive with Mrs P. Just as book videos and has heaps of follow up activities.\nYou are able to interact with all the things on the page. Bookshelf pops out - many genre\n

Amazing to see the different things students think of with just the one word prompt.\n
\n
I use whole class. For individual/groups you would need separate logins for each student/group of students.\nVocabulary is always something that needs working on with my guys.\n
Alternatives I have put on handout are presentation focussed.\n
Variety of these sorts of pages - have in handout.\n
Lots of activities to enhance and use literacy skills.\n
Easy to use interface. Lots of pictures to choose from. Students could begin creating on the website and leave space for their own illustrations when it is printed out.\n
Looking at words and letters in their environment.\n
\n
Explain how voice thread works.\n
\n
\n
Used in conjunction with ‘Weemee’ avitars here but can be used with photos as well as kids own drawn pictures, either on paper and scanned or on a computer programme like paint or kidpix.\n
Website has links to the ‘ways to use’ PDF documents and some other goodies.\n
