BibMe; Fast & Easy Biliography's







BibMe looks awesome. I really wish this kind of thing was around when I was studying!!! I feel we really missed out! The information available is priceless and I think that rather than spending hours in a library looking for missed information, just have a quick check online.

I really like the huge quantity of information that is available, not only regarding books, but also Websites, Magazines, Films, Journals etc.

However, please remember to teach learners how to find the information for a Bibliography. These skills must still be learnt, understood and able to be applied. BibMe really is a time-saver, but not a teacher.

bubbl.us Mindmapping

bubbl.us is a mind-mapping collaborative piece of software which is available on line for all to freely use and apply. It looks like it could be very handy, especially at the introduction and conclusions of different units etc... or assignment work...


You can save mindmaps as a JPEG or download an Html code for later use. Learners can use this software with ease from both home and school to complete projects.... I think this is a very useful peice of software...

Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee online, something to be honest I would have considered as quite an unusual idea, but it works. All you need is some ear phones, or an appropriate environment, and the kids go crazy, they take the competitive side very seriously! I use it as a treat for learners who are finished!

Highly recommended!!
