I know that everyone has had a lesson where they think "Wow! That was GREAT! The kids really loved it!" And how often have you thought "I wish I could share that with others" or "I wish that I could get something that worked with my kids!" Well that is exactly what I am hoping this wiki will be. I would love for everyone to put their successful lessons for others to try, modify, adapt and utilise.

The biggest thing I have discovered while researching lessons, ideas and activities for teachers is that most of the time you can pull the best parts out of a whole idea and use them to make a successful lesson for yourself. For example, I was looking for activities that could be used for Trigonometry. Now being a primary teacher I had no idea what would and wouldn't work for this topic. I did find, howver, that one teacher had used a site called wordle to create a brainstorm of trig words. I then told our English teacher about it and she went and used it the next day for her Year 10 class to create brainstorms about her topic.

Another really great thing I have been told about was storyline online. While not possibly for secondary students, it is a great way to get primary students immersed in technology while still giving them an educational experience, not just playing computer games. Storyline online is created by the screen actors guild and is quite simply actors reading stories. Each story is also accompanied by activities that students can do after listening to the story.
