Hi,
Following on from BETT here is my round up of a few of the interesting things encountered. There will be a chance to find out a bit more about them at the subject leaders meeting during the afternoon of 27th January.
EEE Top -all in one PC with touch screen
Picturacy -film literacy activity CDROM for KS1
Pixton for Schools -allows children to create cartoons online
Brainpop -used to be a US only resource now adapted for UK curriculum and with new voiceovers
RM EDE -amazing fully flexible robot with computer interface -reminds us how far we have come since the days of the roamer
Mathletics -what it sounds like online athletics for maths, won a BETT award
Isis furniture -a fresh look at school furniture
Mini frame -allows you to run 6 computer terminals from one computer, drastically reducing the cost of re-equipping a computer suite
Timstar microscope -considerably better than DB microscope and still less than £100
Ideas were provided couresy of the teachmeet event.

Ever wondered what the top 10 most visited content on the LGfL is across London? Well here's your answer....
1. LGfL Weather Stations 900000
2. Audio Network 235000
3. Mult-e-Maths 180000
4. Us Online 80000
5. i-Board 78000
6. Espresso Primary/Secondary 33000
7. i-Board Maths 32000
8. Talking Stories 3 16000
9. Espresso Faiths 12000
10. PB Bear 7000
(number after each indicates the number of page visits)
It's all available via www.lgfl.net Of course all of the content is great but it's well worth having another look at the weather resources now that there are so many stations across London - a live source of real data. Us online now has an eSafety section that is worth exploring and was up for a BETT award.
I know it's all a bit random but despite best intentions that is often the nature of a trip to BETT!
Hope to see everyone at the PDC on 27th either for the afternoon session is 1.30-3.30 twilight session 4.00-5.15
Dan
