It is free to use (with limits), and I love to use it to plan units or breakdown concepts for my students.]]> 2022-05-03 09:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168042920 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168049013 While you can't collaborate for free on this program, you can create fun and interactive timelines that can be embedded into your lessons, or that students can create as part of activities or assessment tasks.]]> 2022-05-03 09:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168049013 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168053910 Canva is my favourite graphic design platform ever. From lesson slides and handouts to lesson plans and posters, I seem to use Canva for everything! Although you can pay for a premium version, I promise you the free version has (almost) everything you'll ever need!]]> 2022-05-03 09:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168053910 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168056068 This simple tool is the easiest way to remove a background from an image ever. Paste or import the image and then save or copy the result. Remember to always give attribution where it is due!]]> 2022-05-03 10:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168056068 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168057653 Speaking of making beautiful presentations and seamless handouts, I use this colour picker program to match colours. For example, my assessment tasks look so much more professional when the headers and text colours match the logo or embedded image.]]> 2022-05-03 10:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168057653 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168059796 Follow this guide to teach your students how to set up their own maps. What a great way to profile cities or identify competitors in a region!]]> 2022-05-03 10:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168059796 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168063154 This online quiz is very popular and easy to customise. You can add in your own questions and students compete to get the answers correct as quickly as possible.]]> 2022-05-03 10:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168063154 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168064624 Blooket is like a quicker, more interactive, more inclusive version of Kahoot. While you can customise the quizzes, you need more questions to keep up with the fast-paced environment, but students LOVE IT!!]]> 2022-05-03 10:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168064624 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168070880 This resource is a great tool for drawing comparisons of economic data between countries. For example, it shows average salaries, living conditions and populations of every country listed alongside each other. ]]> 2022-05-03 10:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168070880 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168075877 Word clouds are great for showing frequently recurring words in a set of data by differing the size of the words. I like to use them to show students how many people voted for certain outcomes to show them that I value their opinion and I'm not being biased in my teaching. For example, the year 10 students had to vote on which country they wanted to study for their economics reports. I typed up all of their responses and the larger words were the countries we are going to focus on.]]> 2022-05-03 10:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168075877 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168081372 This is a super cool tool! Look up past addresses or cities to find historical images from the same place way back then. It works best when looking up big cities!]]> 2022-05-03 10:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168081372 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168088754 This guide includes 22 different visual activities and strategies that can be embedded into lesson plans.]]> 2022-05-03 10:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168088754 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168090173 Not only does this site include a bunch of templates that you can use in your lessons, it also includes links that introduce you to even more activities and templates!]]> 2022-05-03 10:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168090173 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168093640 Printable graphic organisers - perfect for resources in schools where not all students have access to devices!]]> 2022-05-03 10:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168093640 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168096005 I am a BIG FAN of starter activities, and here is a list of some to get your STARTED (get it?!). ]]> 2022-05-03 10:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2168096005 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193725697 Here is a list of Australian companies from Wikipedia. I love using real case studies in my lessons, so this link is a great source of inspiration for teachers and students.

I scooped this fantastic resource from https://padlet.com/maeghanannis/f2fbkc6vmu7al39h]]> 2022-05-21 06:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193725697 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193729775 This brilliant resource was sent to me by a teacher-friend and is a noise monitor for rowdy classrooms. Like her, I use it during Silent Ball to ensure the classroom noise stays at a minimum, and it is particularly effective during times when students are working on their assessment tasks. I draw a line on the board and expect that the balls don't bounce above that line.]]> 2022-05-21 06:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193729775 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193730105 I've been looking for a timer for a while and when I found this, I felt foolish to not have thought of YouTube! Rather than a boring countdown timer on Google's homepage, I'm excited to use this in my classroom - especially during activities like think/pair/share, etc.

Scooped from https://padlet.com/malissatapp/Bookmarks]]> 2022-05-21 06:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193730105 mrsoborn https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193735346 There is something very 'personal' about the idea of including a Bitmoji in classroom presentations. It reminds me of a stamp for the digital world. I think I will incorporate this into my presentations as reminders and don't forget. For example, including a slide with content and then my bitmoji in the corner that says "don't forget to email Mrs Oborn your presentation at...".

I personally use it for inspiration in designing my own templates, but my students use them for when they have to create presentations in class. Some templates you need to pay for, but others are free with proper attribution (which is also a great way to teach students are attribution and ethical responsibility). ]]> 2022-05-21 07:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsoborn/iseeyouict/wish/2193754136
