Have fun

1. Setup a blog - a place to offer additional support, ideas and links to help students' learning. ALL SUBJECTS
2. Get students to video their class presentation - really effective use of ICT where students are in control, scripting and preparing a presentation to go online. ALL SUBJECTS
3. Give students a terrible PowerPoint presentation - provide students with an awful PowerPoint presentation about a particular topic. Make it look awful, include incorrect and worthless information, put everything in the wrong order. Ask them to mark it and then fix it. ALL SUBJECTS
4. Give students a massive Word document and a strict word limit - provide students with a 4 page document full of information and ask them to trim the text to 200 words. LITERACY? ALL?
5. Project a video but remove the sound. For example, play a film trailer without any sound, get students to add their own music and effects to fit. MUSIC?
6. Use digital video played through the IWB, such as Windows Movie Maker to pause and annotate video clips and to take still images of the annotations / picture - to build up story board of main points from video for feedback at the end. LITERACY, HUMANITIES, MFL (CREATING SUBTITLES?)
7. Web cam / Skype- use a web cam to enable subject specialist to be hotseated by different classes at the same time, or use the web cam as part of a role play activity in which the individual comes through on the screen with an eyewitness account of a key event from history as if they have just witnessed it - HISTORY / LITERACY
8. Weathermen / women - use an online weather map and allow the children to present the weather using key terminology GEOGRAPHY / LITERACY
9. You say we (don't) pay - fun variation of Richard and Judy's game. Project images of famous figures or keywords from the topic under study behind a student or group of students sitting at the front. The class describe the image or keyword and the student at the front must guess what is on the screen. ALL SUBJECTS
10. Create a news report - Making the News 2 (MTN2) is a website designed to introduce students to the world of online media publishing and broadcasting for the 21st century. Teachers may register, doing so will create a homepage on MTN for their school. The teacher may then create student accounts. http://mtn2.e2bn.org/mtn/info/whatismtn
