Duolingo

Duolingo


Although I have posted this before, more than 3 years ago, 
I am still using this app and am more impressed than ever with this!
My family are all learning a different language, some for extra work in 
their GCSE second language or just for fun.

You can choose from a multitude of different languages to learn.
It is very easy to use and you can go at your own pace.
My wife is now almost fluent in Italian!!

Simple Learning Time

Simple Learning Time
Two Parklands College Learners, Stephan and Luke, have developed an app called 
Simple Learning Time.

Simple Learning Time is a free educational app that has both a digital time and 
analogue clock display. Students can move the hands of the clock to display 
different times of the day in both 24 hour and 12 hour time formats. 
A rotating background indicates whether it is night or day. 
This can be used in many fun ways in the classroom.

Well done!!

Office Lens

Office Lens

 

This is really a great app.
So often I take a photo of a screen or whiteboard and it comes out badly.
This app allows you to take the picture from your phone and corrects it
automatically for you.

It has 3 different settings to make the picture better.

  • With Whiteboard mode, glare and shadows disappear.
  • With Document mode, text is clear and easy to read.
  • With Photo mode, you can take pictures of people and scenery.

Windows 21st Century Learning Design App

Windows 21st Century Learning Design App


Wow this is so cool!!
How do you know if you are doing the right thing?

Students around the world need advanced skills to succeed in the globalized, 
knowledge based world of today. 21st Century Learning Design, or 
21CLD, professional development helps teachers design lessons and 
learning activities to build students’ 21st century skills. 

The program is based on rubrics developed and tested in one of the largest ever 
international studies of 21st Century Skills - Innovative Teaching and 
Learning (ITL) Research project (http://www.itlresearch.com/).  
The 21CLD materials are presented in an easy to use, highly interactive way in this app. 
Using this app will help educators identify and understand the opportunities that
 learning activities give students to build 21st century skills. 
A learning activity is any task that students do as part of their school related work. 
It can be an exercise that students complete in one class period or an extended
 project that takes place both in and outside of school. 
The 21CLD rubrics incorporate a research-based methodology for c
oding learning activities to ensure you are embedding 21st century 
skills in your teaching practices. 
The 21CLD Rubric for Student Work provides a framework to assess students’ 
development of 21st century skills.

Excellent!!
