Lure of the Labryinth is a fantastic resource Craig, ranging from Yr7-10. Something for you to check out would be Quest Atlantis, an immersive 3D environment designed especially for K-12 students. Ok, now I want my prize!

A few of the sites I would be able to direct kids to. I'd be interested to find some more music specific sites, I'm still not sure how it applies to the kind of classroom I have.

Will keep an eye out for you for the next edition LG. Check your pigeon hole for a chockie Thurs morning!-CP
ReplyDeleteSpellCity has some good stuff. Find the teach spelling part not too useful and the spelling lists only go to Year 8 and are American specific. But the games and grammar info is useful. Hang Mouse was fun. Teachers can add their own list so still useful for middle and senior school BR
ReplyDeleteGood to see you got some value BR! Yes differentiation is big in the USA atm.Here is an Aussie site worth checking
