Huge collection of Interactive Whiteboard Activities
Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 3:53PM
Phillip Crammond has compiled an extensive bank of interactive resources across all the major curriculum areas. The site is easy to navigate and full of content that is applicable to all year levels. I don't have much more to add to this except that is brilliant and definitely worth a look. Check it out here.
FUSE offers over 10,000 free teaching resources
Monday, March 8, 2010 at 8:38PM FUSE is a portal to high quality teaching and learning resources
for schools. It enables teachers to Find, Use and Share Education
resources. It is open to all teachers anywhere in the world and is
located at www.education.vic.gov.au/teacher
It is free to use and managed by the Victorian Education
Department in Australia. The Victorian Education Department
is recognised as one of the best ICT focussed Educational groups
in the world.
FUSE connects teachers to resources from across the world, Connect,
Digilearn, Knowledgebank, the Learning Federation content and
thousands of web resources recommended by Victorian teachers.
In addition, it contains new resources provided by trusted education
partners such as National Gallery of Victoria, the State Library,
Museum Victoria, and Zoos Victoria. There are also access pages for
students and early childhood children.
Tutorials on how to use FUSE are available within the portal. FUSE
has been developed as part of the KnowledgeBank: Next Generation
Project. This project conducted research in hundreds of classrooms
across Victoria to investigate how web 2.0 technologies can enhance
teaching and learning, and established appropriate usage policies for
these technologies.
At this time Victorian Government teachers can login to access extra
resources (Inc the TLF content), create new resources including rich
media and upload them to FUSE to share. FUSE includes web
conferencing and teacher blogging. Access will be built up throughout
the year to provide full access to other teachers. FUSE will be the
content library for the Ultranet.
1500 Free Online Teaching Resources
Monday, March 8, 2010 at 8:21PM 
I must forewarn all non US teachers that FREE is very focussed on catering to the US curriculum but none the less it is definitely full of relevant content to international teachers. FREE makes it easier to find teaching and learning resources from a number of federal government departments.
More than 1,500 federally supported teaching and learning resources are included from dozens of federal agencies. New sites are added regularly.
FREE was conceived in 1997 by a federal working group in response to a memo from the President. The site was launched a year later. It was redesigned and relaunched for the first time in November 2006.
FREE is among the most popular K-12 websites maintained by the U.S. Department of Education because of the many great resources being offered by contributing federal agencies.
FREE is very easy to naviagate and contains a wealth of great resources. Check it out here.

Resources Jenny Eather's Writing Fun - Brilliant Text Teaching Tool
Monday, March 1, 2010 at 9:59AM
I have been using this site for a number of years now regularly to teach my students about different text types and share examples with them and just realised that I do not have it up on Edgalaxy.
Jenny Eather's Writing Fun is a brilliant tool for any English teacher. It contains step by step instructions on how to construct all major text types such as persuasive, explanatory, narrative and so on and has loads of examples from students to share on your interactive white board.
It also contains a range of planning tools and aids to help your stuidents get the most from their writing sessions. Quite simply this is my number one pick for writing resources and I strongly recommend you check it out here.
