This page is a blog presenting information on different ICT tools which can be used for presenting.  Your students can create blogs and blog posts on any topic to present their knowledge and understanding.

If your school does not already have a blogging platform then there are a number of blog websites which students can use (and sign up to for free).  Here are just a couple.  Just remember that blogs can be public and can be found so ensure that students know not to include any personal information on there:

    Wordpress

    Blogger

If you want a class blog you could use a tool like Edmodo to set up a class blog and allow students to present their work to the class.

Here is a link to Edmodo for you to explore.  Here is a tutorial to help you understand and make use of it:

Allow students to choose different ways to present their work.  They can use these tools to present their understanding of a topic, evidence what they have produced or present an idea or an argument.

There are a great many tools which can be used.  Here are a few tried and tested free tools which we like and students enjoy using.  There are tutorials on how to use each on the website for each tool and a quick search on YouTube will help you to find more.  Most of these tools require you to create a user account but this is free and easy to do:

    Animoto - Create impressive multimedia presentations/videos

    Weebly - Create free professional websites (this whole site is made using weebly)

    Bitstrips - Create comic strips

    Go Animate - Create online animations

    MyEbook - Create an online ebook and publish it

    Jing - Record your screen and narrate what you are doing

Example of use:

Our Humanities department were doing an enquiry based around the title 'Where is life best?'  One of the ways students presented their thoughts and findings was by using 'Weebly' to create a tourist guide to their chosen place to entice people to go there.  Obviously the site had to include real information and content which made it a good place to liv

Students can use audio and video to present their understanding, ideas or evidence of what they have been doing.

In this world of new web 2.0 tools there is still a place for Office Software for presenting work.  Whether a desktop publishing package, word processing or presentation software all can be used effectively to convey understanding.  Ensure all students have access to suitable Office software.

If you are not in a position to provide Microsoft Office consider alternatives like Open Office and Google Documents which are both free (albiet not as powerful).
