Some punctuation games, resources and activities I have gathered http://delicious.com/tbarre... hope you find them useful

@josiefraser Yeah shame its a school night - hope you all have a good meet :-)
@spookingdorf Can't recall the exact language but swearing soon popped up for the kids to type - lucky I looked at it before, worth knowing
@prettejohn @iusher @spookingdorf I have not used TypeRacer as after a few games there was bad language in random text they need to type
@lorir http://tinyurl.com/2jqoar Punctuation Paintball is great thanks :-)
@paulawhite http://twitter.com/tombarre... Asked for some responses to contribute to my assembly, shared them with kids
"You might choose to use GE if you are trying to find out about a place in the world, but you might also use it for ... and this..."
Provide contexts for these tools but also take the time to take a step back as a class and highlight how they could be applied in general
At the end of our RE lesson with Google Earth today, I said to my kids that GE is a great mapping and visual research tool...
Does anyone know of any good punctuation games knocking about? Capital letters and full stop practice?
A Twitter inspired assembly,Google earth supporting RE research and Voicethread intro in literacy on sensory imagery - not bad for day 2 :-)
We have been using Google Earth this morning to research religions in the local area - intro to Voicethread this afternoon should be fun
I am in Chrome and I have just spotted you can resize the text box in Twitter - wierd, doesn't change the character limit though
Thanks to everyone who shared thoughts about making a new start-kids really enjoyed hearing them+it provided a lovely global perspective
Assembly in 15mins "New term, New start - what does it mean to you?" Please contribute your thoughts+location so I can share with kids
Assembly in 3hrs 20mins "New term, New start - what does it mean to you?" Please contribute your thoughts+location so I can share with kids
Just posted some pictures of my classroom http://tinyurl.com/6dlwe8
@theokk That would be great will have to see what else i can figure out - and if I can go in principle first !
