		<title>Tag Galaxy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tag Galaxy is a different way of exploring a topic through seeing what related pictures people have put on the Flickr images site. Type any topic or concept in, and it will coat a globe with images, which you can rotate or click on to enlarge. A good IWB tool to get children thinking?

		<title>Etherpad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Etherpad is a totally fantastic collaborative word processor. No logins required &#8211; simply click to start typing. Send the link to anybody else (by email, through a Learning Platform or simply by writing it up on the board) and they can start typing too, in real time, with each person&#8217;s additions in a different colour. At the end, export it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swindonict.wordpress.com&blog=3199288&post=94&subd=swindonict&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Northern Grid E-safety Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To promote European Safer Internet Day, the Northern Grid have produced these games. The e-safety content is very good, though some children might not like to shoot ducks or squash a fly!

		<title>Picnik</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ In an earlier post I was singing the praises of Pixlr, a fantastic online photo editor. Picnik is another which is less sophisticated, so more suitable for younger children and, dare I say it, more fun! I&#8217;ve seen adults spend hours on this!

		<title>Vocaroo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Vocaroo is a marvellous little online voice recorder program. That&#8217;s what it does: you record your voice, then you can send an email to your friends so they can listen to your voice. It&#8217;s also going to be ideal for Merlin or My First Place.

		<title>Myths and Legends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Myths and Legends is another fantastic free resource for schools, provided by the South West Grid for Learning (but actually designed by their equivalents in the East of England). You can watch a range of myths produced by adults and children, with text to read, cartoons and some speech and animation. Then make your own [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swindonict.wordpress.com&blog=3199288&post=72&subd=swindonict&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Early Years websites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[swindonwiki.pbwiki.com has a special Early Years page which has picture links to a range of websites suitable for young children. Why not put this as your home page, so that children can explore the different sites independently? If they want to go back and choose another site, they will only need to click the Home [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swindonict.wordpress.com&blog=3199288&post=67&subd=swindonict&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
