Spotted this in my journey through the blogosphere : Plagiarismadvice.org - a website provided by JISC to provide advice on plagiarism. It includes resources for avoiding plagiarism, discussion as to why pupils do plagiarise and how to avoid it. The website also provides guidance on developing information literacy skills in using electronic sources.

A group of Herefordshire teachers have produced some high quality interactive whiteboard Promethean flipchart resourcesto support the teaching of Literacy within the Renewed Primary Framework.

‘Eclips‘  is a video, audio and image resource bank for use by teachers. More specifically, it is aimed at teachers in Wales, and is provided by BBC Wales, but can be accessed by anyone. It is very easy to search – by keyword, by subject, by age group, by clip type. Resources are then streamed to your computer, so an internet connection is required (you cannot save the video/audio clips, though you can use the images with other applications). Lots of very valuable resources here – really worth a look.

Vocaroo is a great site, it allows you to record a snippet of audio and embed it into a web page. There’s no need to register – just record a voice recording, and select the ‘Post on the internet’ option. Vocaroo will provide you with an embedded code snippet to add to a web page – its as easy as that!

GoGivers is a site for primary schools with lots of useful FREE webtools: Timeline, Decision Tree World Viewer, Mindmapping etc.

Google have started producing some lesson packages to be delivered using various Google Tools.

So far there are lessons for History, Geography and Citizenship and they’re all UK focussed. I’ve had a quick look at them, and they appear quite good. 

There are also 8 lesson ideas for the primary phase.

Another great example of Google supporting teaching and learning.
