Traditional and Digital
Introduction
This is a table looking at traditional classroom practice and potential digital alternatives. I have included software tools (proprietary, open source/free (FOSS) and Web 2.0) I am going to link these through to the websites, so if you are adding to this please make it a link.
Traditional and Digital
These are mainly PC based (apologies to Mac users) but I work at a PC school. So if you are adding a Mac Link please put (Mac) beside the name.
