Teaching ScienceHelp for trainee Science teachers

Science by Email looks like it could be a handy resource to keep an eye on:

“In recent years, Science by Email has produced a diverse range of science activities for subscribers to try at home or in the classroom. You can access them via this archive.”

You can also subscribe and have science ideas emailed direct to your inbox. The list is aimed at teachers in Australia, but anyone can join the mailing list.

Another service worth joining is Ictopus, which provides a weekly email of useful lesson ideas for Primary Teachers, for all subjects. It’s free to register, and you get access to the entire archive of past resources.

If you are interested in reading more about how teachers are using technology in their classroom then here are some very good blogs that are worth reading.

If you haven’t already, it’s well worth signing up with Google for a google reader account. You can then copy the addresses of the blogs into Google Reader and read them all in one place – no need to trawl through each blog checking if they’ve been updated. (and of course remember to put this blog in there too!)
