Each group will work on their own brainstorm and can also view what other groups are doing. The site claims to be able to embed in blogs so this is a test.

Try this link to see the system

I don’t seem to be able to embed the brainstorm so I am going to contact both edublogs and bubbl.us to see if they can help.

 At the start of June, Crocodile Clips will be launching Yenka 3D Shapes.

It’s a new user-friendly 3D geometry tool which lets teachers and students experiment with shapes, measurement, scale and volume.

Visit www.yenka.com to watch a video showing you the software in action.

Before the end of May, UK schools can also register for a 25% discount voucher.

This software looks really good, I would advise staff to watch the video.  I’m not sure about the cost yet but it would be a great piece of software for Maths and D&T.  Please let me know what you think.
