Digital Technologies for Learning
Intellectual property rights
Are you allowed to use that picture you just downloaded in your work?  The Internet makes it so easy to grab digital information and re-use it - but did the people who put it there intend for you to be able to use in your own materials?

How to show Youtube videos in school…..
As we are all no doubt aware Youtube is generally blocked in schools, unfortunately this blocking stops a lot of excellent video resources being used.

Headline History
The latest ictopus newsletter mentioned a website which enabled pupils to read newspaper style articles about the Tudoes, WWII, Victorians and Romans. So I headed to http://www.headlinehistory.co.uk/ to take a look. Its even better than that - pupils can read about selected events of these eras but then are encouraged to act in the role of [...]
