=Nine in 90 - The nine best e-learning tools in 10 minutes or less= Martyn Weatherill, John McAleese, Alex MaCreadies, Neetha Mudhan

This presentation showcased a number (actually more than 9!) of pieces of software and how they might be used in the classroom. Whilst it was presented from an intermediate school perspective there was definitely a lot of opportunity to use this in a high school context.

This breakout provided a free CD and the presentation's intention was to provide all the materials needed to begin using it on 'Monday morning.'

The CD should be somewhere in your school! John also has a copy on a memory stick that he can give to others at the learning meetings or when he is at your school.

=90 Tools in 90 Minutes= David Kinane

This was a list of 90 sites with free software ranging from animation to photo storage. The list is avaiable on the blog [|90 Tools]. Definitely worth a look. The blog has the list under reources with a short comment on each site. as well as a tutorial section.

Here is the list with summaries of each tool (from the above site)

=Digital Store and Digitalnz= = =

Digital Store and Digitalnz are both new sites created to help search for NZ digital content. Digistore is a TKI site - I think schools use their old EPIC logins DigitalNZ (National Library) allows you to create a mini search engine across NZ digital content about various NZ web pages, documents, images, video and audio. Create a user account [] Then head to [|www.digitalnz.org/customise] to make a customised digitalnz search tool which you can saved and edited later on an account. Both these organizations are committed to increasing the access to NZ digital material. TKI is collecting it and storing it whilst digitalnz is a search engine. The digitalnz site in particular looks promising. Simon

Utilising free web based multimodal teaching resources with interactive whiteboard technologies
Karen Rolleston

Emphasis again was on free software to use on interactive whiteboards including Inspire Personal, Celestina, Phet, Cam Studio, Stu's Jeopardy,Content generator, Art Rage. She is sending an e-mail with links to these sites which I will add. Many of these reources can be used with a data projector.

=Maths Made Easy= Simon Briscoe and Craig Chapman

Really a sell for activboards. Some tools that could be used on any interactive whiteboard. The tools available on the [|Promethean Planet]site with a free download of the activinspire software so you can use the resources on any interactive whiteboard.
