Embedding in Wizkid

The possibility to embed a whole range of resources and activities into online learning platforms such as Wizkid has fantastic potential. Not only does it keep everything in one place, it is much easier and more instantaneous and attention grabbing for the children to immediately access embedded content rather than following links.

In Wizkid it is possible to embed a video above a discussion to then immediately discuss below. Class clips from the BBC is fantastic resource for this.

I have also embedded Primary Pad which offers an easy to embed option at the bottom of the page which gives you the link to an iframe immediately to copy and paste into the html editor in Wizkid. Again this keeps everything in one place and is easier for younger children to manage. Primary Pad is a fantastic tool for collaborative writing, editing of writing or just as a place to gather ideas that can be shared.

A new tool that I've come across is Spicy Nodes which looks to be a fab mind mapping tool where the user can add links, images and videos to each section of the mind map. Could be a great tool to use as a class or across classes to collaborate ideas especially in something like history or a specific research topic and could be combined easily with a tasc wheel activity. Again they offer an embed button that will automatically grab the code for you to paste into an html editor.

Other websites or resources can be embedded using code for an iframe
