In this age of mobile devices, keyboards, touchpads, and voice-controlled devices, some teachers may wonder if handwriting is no longer the required skill as before. And others may be looking for resources to help them teach this skill and support their pupils in as effective a way as possible using the tools which are now available to schools. Either way, read on and help is at hand online.

As we look at Web 2.0 tools we must consider if we can use them with our students in the school. Many school have policies about social media websites, but one we often run into is the need for students to have email addresses. This list provides 20 Web 2.0 sites that do require a student email address to create an account. There is one additional piece of information that we also need to check and that it the policy of the site for students under the age of 13. I have not checked all these sites to see if students under 13 are allowed and the post does not mention this fact...so if you work with students under 13 make sure to check their policy. The list is wide-ranging from sources that are great for finding educational resouces to bookmarking/annoting websites to creating animated videos and more. Some may require a subscription for educators.

Others give a brief overview of the research process, but also include links to resources to support that research

Creating “stories” using ready-made tools A “story” could be considered to be a communication of ideas that has a beginning, a logical sequence and an ending. In history lessons “storytelling” is easily integrated – fictional and factual.
