al The first session of day two that I am attending is “Student Digital Portfolios: Redefining Assessment with iPads and Google Apps” by Holly Clark. You can view the slides from her presentation here…

Ness Crouch‘s insight:

Digital portfolios are the way of the future when it comes to students reflecting on their learning. This article gives a great deal of information about introducing, managing and collecting information. The sections that deal with digital citizenship and digital footprint are very good at showing the responsibilities teachers and students have.

There’s nothing like a book recommendation from a friend. Encourage students to share their opinions by creating a student-driven book review site. Richard Byrne shows you how in the accompanying screencasts.

Ness Crouch‘s insight:

This looks like an interesting site. I’m going to investigate the possibilities for safe use in a primary classroom.

Explore the travels and exploits of five real pirates of the Caribbean. Click through the tabs to track the adventures of each pirate overlaid on Spanish ports and pirate strongholds in the area. Zoom into the map to see additional detail.

Ness Crouch‘s insight:

Excellent site… though we don;t study pirates I’m sure I’d have some kids that would love to be extended by looking at this!
