The range of digital tools seems to be growing exponentially every day. Mick aims to cut through the digital noise and highlight some ICTs that can help make classroom teaching more efficient, enjoyable and relevant for the students and teacher. From free online storage, to on-screen video recording and old maps online, there will be plenty of resources to take away for review. All resources demonstrated will be freely available (or at very minimal cost) and teachers will be able to access resources online at their leisure.
