Free Functional Skills and Skills for Life resources
ILT in Further and Adult Education
Must-visit sites for those that want to use interactive learning technology in their teaching (all levels and subjects). For subject-specific ILT see our "Interactive resource sites" section.
Report comment bank is a free, online report writing tool that will save teachers hours. Many functional skills teachers, like myself, have a large number of pupils to write reports for – this should make their life much easier in report season. There are over 20,000 report comments available so you should find something for your subject.
A brilliant and truly useful, free web based tool that takes a pieces of text and turns it into a complete lesson. Once you have pasted or typed in your text it takes you through it step by step, giving you the option of creating cloze exercises, vocabulary, grammar and comprehension questions.
A really fun site where you can create a short movie. Huge choice of characters and backgrounds. Then simply type your dialogue into the speech bubbles and choose your back ground music and you can create a short educational snippet in whatever subject you wish (or get your students to create one). Once finished you type in your email address and a link to the new movie is sent to you. Recommended by Ellen Lessner, Abingdon and Witney College (thank you).
