Somebody asked offlist about a link to the 30 day evaluation subscription. I have just got permission to share it on this list.<br>

Find a unit of work that runs for about a month and then give it a decent thrashing in the classroom to check out understanding / bandwidth issues.<br>

Speaking of movies, I decided to try out the AtomicLearning series of flash based video tutorials. Their collection is impressive, covering a lot of the standard software stock but I spotted a huge swag of FLOSS or open-source software tutorials that we use at our school including OpenOffice, Moodle, Gimp and more. I was able to configure to directly launch / login these from Moodle :-)<br>
<br>Rather than ye olde commercial stuff that often gets repacked from the USA and pushed on Austrlalian schools, this Oz/UK based group seems to have fresher content with accents that are familiar and easier to understand for our ESL students. My suspicition is that they employ teachers to assemble the lesson plans and I think I have spotted an Australian amongst the team. (grin)<br>

Apologies if this has been made known to the list before but Microsoft is offering free software to students/teachers through Dreamspark. Some of the software is readily available anyway but there is some that's not, in particular, game studio and expression. There is also heaps of training videos and certifications etc.<br>
<br>
<br>
We asked for 50 licences and got them sent to us instantly. Check it out, hope its of use to someone<br>
