“ TED talks are great, but there’s a point where they all seem too similar, or are just taxing to muddle through. If you’d still like to enjoy a smart, engaging talk now and again but you’ve had enough of TED, here are some alternative to boost your brain.”

Best-app lists are everywhere (we even have some of our own here on Creative Bloq), but this list is more interested in the latest and greatest. So below you’ll find our favourite 10 apps for sketching and digital art that first appeared over the last 12 months, or that received significant updates that made them worth another look.

This info graphic lists many great resources that could influence ICT use in a classroom. Many of these we have explored through ICT Design, however many are new resources. This could be a great starting block for an ICT and student centered unit plan. EDIT: Upon reading this article, I agreed that these skills are necessary for 21st century teachers. I have re-read this article however, and now I see that these skills are just as important for 21st century students. Imagine sending students out into the workforce after school, with all of these skills. This Infographic has provided me with the inspiration for creating a learning sequence within a unit. Within the drama classroom there is room for most of these skills. Within my unit plan, students have to prepare a performance but in addition to that, they have to market their performance. This will require posters, a promotion video, creating a website for the performance. Working collaboratively to decide what needs to be done, students then work independently on their task (decided within the group). This will give students the opportunity to excel in skills from outside of the drama classroom.

This resource is excellent. Highly organised, focused and very easy to read. I think this would be a wonderful resource printed on a poster and displayed in the classroom.
Website addresses are given under nine headings that fit so well with the Australian Curriculum General Standards, the pedagogy I have chosen in my pedagogy map, and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers..
Examples of such links are as follows:
1. Category on Chart: Create infographics and posters (4 websites listed) LINKS TO: (a) Australian Curriculum General Standards - Literacy - communicate concepts, ideas and detailed proposals LINKS TO: (b) High end pedagogy - Provide students opportunities to communicate ideas and detailed proposals through various self-selected ICT technologies LINKS TO: (c) Links to Pedagogy - Student direction: Students self-select methods to communicate their proposals, reports, drawings and specifications using media channels appropriate to the intended audience. To an extent directing, setting the pace and determining outcomes of learning (problem based learning). LINKS TO: (d) ICT Connections - Students should understand and develop the ability to utilise different presentation software – such as Prezzi and PowerPoint.
2. Category on Chart: Create PLNs, connect, discover new content and grow professionally (4 websites listed) LINKS TO: (a) Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. 6.2 Engage in professional learning and improve practice
3. Category on Chart: Create, organize adn share digital resources LINKS TO: (a) Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. 6.3 Engage with colleagues and improve practice __________________________________________________________
In relation to SAMR, this allows for transformation learning in the following ways:
1. Modification: many tasks in the classroom can be re-designed with this poster being used to locate safe and appropriate resources on the internet.
An example is using a a resource under "Create Digital Portfolios" such as Weebly.com in place of a portfolio in book form.
2. Redefinition: new tasks, previously inconceivable are possible, such as displaying a student's portfolio on a mobile device as opposed to book form. __________________________________________________________
In summary, this is brilliantly designed and I see it as a highly valuable resource for my teaching.

Niche-specific content is usually not readily available through regular generic search engines. One example is the academic and scholarly content. While running a search query about an academic topic through a generic search engine such as Google would probably render fairly decent results, it, however, usually takes digging into so much fluff before finally landing on relevant results. This is where having access to topic-specific search engines comes in handy. Such search engines do not only provide specific content tailored to the topic under study but their content is more likely to be reliable and authoritative. To this end, we have compiled this list of excellent academic search engines that teachers, student researchers and academics can use to quickly locate and access scholarly works and publications. We have only included what we believe are the most relevant and popular titles out there.
