Wesbites/ICT tools mentioned by Paul during his presentation :

 * VotApedia** - create your own surveys and quizes for response via mobile phone or the web

[|http://www.surveymonkey.com] (Brian)
 * Survey Monkey** - a variation of Votapedia. The basic sign-up has limitations (smart survey structuring overcomes some of them) but a shared gold subscription is a reasonable cost.

Fantastic depositories of primary sources: **National Library of Australia**: www.nla.gov.au **State Library of South Australia**: @http://www.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm **National Archives of Australia**: www.naa.gov.au **Picture Australia**: www.pictureaustralia.org **Trove (digitised Australian newspapers, c.1800-1954)**: http://trove.nla.gov.au **Australian War Memorial**: http://www.awm.org.au

**AGQTP workshop wiki** - ideas for how to use wikis, lists of links to useful history websites and primary source depository (esp. for teaching 20thC Australian and immigration history, American and world history) http://wiki-wonderland.wikispaces.com/

HERE ARE THE LINKS I SPOKE ABOUT DURING FRIDAY'S WORKSHOP from Stacey Moros

[] excellent revision site on many topics studied in Senior Modern History

[|www.activehistory.co.uk] an online site with lots of handouts, powerpoints, computer simulations and quizzes

[|www.learningcurve.gov.uk] online exhibitions on many topics which is great for using to teach sources analysis skills

[] a site with hundreds of suggestions on innovative ways to use ICT in the classroom

Resources, continued …. Chidozie Alozie

[] - A ning devoted not only to sharing resources in Education, but also the specific uses of pop culture within the classroom. For sure, it has a decidedly American flavour, but individual groups can be formed within its umbrella.

[] - Yup, free media for the classroom … of note, however, is the section devoted to MAC resources. For those making the move to Apple computers, these links are valuable :([])

[] Worth a gander. Linked to Making Curriculum Pop.

Blogs, wikis and such … [] @http://www.ning.com/ [] []

Just for kicks …

In furtherance of our discussion on the ICT dilemma (useful technologies v. great PR and Marketing moves), I’ve been keeping tabs on any information on specific uses for technology within the classroom. Please add any articles or links you may find relevant or enlightening ... or you can move it to its own space.
