Luna Interactive Projection Camera from Learning Resources to try out in our classroom. The camera is light weight, simple to use, and plugs into a USB port on your computer so you can view and record photos and video…

The camera is very simple to use. It can record video or take still photos with a simple push of a button. I shared the camera with my students on several occasions by setting it out on a table for the children to view their activities as they worked…

The arm of the camera is bendable so the children can position the camera lens (located at the top) to point up or down…

There are far more possible uses for this camera than I have tried so far. It can certainly be used as a teaching tool and if a projector is added, the children would be able to view their work on a large screen or wall…

For now, my students have enjoyed just viewing their hands at work on the computer screen…

What Time is it Mr. Wolf? from Teachers Pet

Teacher’s Pet proudly present ‘What Time is it Mr. Wolf’ – our very first iPad application. A clever and interactive way to help children tell the time. O’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter toWatch as Mr. Wolf magically spins the clock on the face of the moon to ten random times and offers the player a choice of up to 8 answers. With simple and intuitive controls the application is very easy to play and allows the player to concentrate on their time telling practice.We have plenty of updates planned for the near future to extend the game to more age groups and to also add extra game modes and options!

via Our First iPad App!!!.

Looks good on iPad or iPhone. Android version coming soon.

How would you use this with a group? What learning outcomes might you expect?

Triptico is an excellent resource for teachers to use in conjunction with their interactive whiteboards that currently contains around 20 different interactive resources – all of which can be easily edited, adapted and saved for later use.

Because Triptico is an application that runs in your computer (it runs on Adobe Air, so it’s compatible with both Macs and PCs), it can be used with any make and model of interactive whiteboard. This and the fact that it is free makes Triptico an absolute must have for every teacher wishing to make better use of technology in the classroom to engage students and foster classroom participation.

Once you have installed and launched the application, you can explore the different activities available by scrolling from left to right in the main screen or simply by clicking on favourites, which returns an very handy navigation pane.

From there you can easily navigate to any of the different interactive activity makers and you can then customise your own activities to suit your subject and lesson. As you can see, the resources on offer are often game-show inspired and range from (relatively) simple timers, image spinners and student selectors to games, quizzes and text analysis tools.

To make Print Screen work, you must save an image of what’s displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it can be printed.

Windows Help: Print Screen

To do this, follow this procedure:
1. Maximize the window you’d like to capture.
2. To copy/capture the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn at the same time. To capture the entire screen, just press Print Scrn.
3. Open a new document in MS Word, MS Photo Editor, Powerpoint or Adobe PhotoShop.
4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time.
5. Print the document when you’re finished pasting screen shots.

So now you can all take screenshots of the website or application you used for your activity and add them to your portfolios!
