Flash 'video' tutorials for Microsoft applications, Photoshop and Dreamweaver make the steps really clear: www.teach-ict.com/videohome.htm

www.zoo.com is a new child-friendly search engine which filters out a lot of inappropriate content and purposely has no image search. We have featured it on our Website of the Week and would welcome feedback. (Click on comments below)

Jo Langthorne sent me this URL a while ago - no obvious curriculum links, but just one of those occasional discoveries that lead you to a few moments of wonder! http://www.permadi.com/java/spaint/spaint.html

www.beyondpathe.org.uk
WMNet (West Midlands education broadband consortium) have launched a pilot project to help schools make use of the huge British Pathe film archive. The focus has been on World War II. Pathe is of course free to all KCN schools, as part of the National Education Network.
At present, it can only be accessed over KCN, i.e. on a networked machine in school. If you 'request new password' you are then able to set up an account using your email address.
How useful is this site?? Please add a comment!!!

From Karen Brooker at York Road Juniors:
www.old-maps.co.uk
This is quite a useful site for looking up what certain villages/towns etc looked like in Victorian times. In the "gazetteer" you will find a list of places covered (even down to villages)! If you click on the "enlarged view" button you can scroll across an enlarged view of the area covered.
The Bee-Bot simulator has been completed and is available for download on a 14 day trial from:
single user: £24.95
site licence: £79.95
You can drive with a Bee-Bot's eye view!!
Unfortunately the onscreen buttons are not the same as the robot, which I find very odd!
