Wesbites/ICT tools mentioned by Paul during his presentation:
VotApedia - create your own surveys and quizes for response via mobile phone or the web http://www.urvoting.com
Survey Monkey - a variation of Votapedia. The basic sign-up has limitations (smart survey structuring overcomes some of them) but a shared gold subscription is a reasonable cost. http://www.surveymonkey.com
workshop wiki - ideas for how to use wikis, lists of links to useful history websites and primary source depository (esp. for teaching 20thC Australian and immigration history, American and world history) http://wiki-wonderland.wikispaces.com/
Some more sites: http://www.johndclare.net/ excellent revision site on many topics studied in Senior Modern History
www.activehistory.co.uk an online site with lots of handouts, powerpoints, computer simulations and quizzes
www.learningcurve.gov.uk online exhibitions on many topics which is great for using to teach sources analysis skills
http://mcpopmb.ning.com/ - A ning devoted not only to sharing resources in Education, but also the specific uses of pop culture within the classroom. For sure, it has a decidedly American flavour, but individual groups can be formed within its umbrella.
