Have you tried Educaplay? This is a fantastic site where you can create interactive content for use on your VLE.Blogs and Web Sites for free, simply register, create and share..
Below is an example of what they call an interactive map. I will be beginning work with Scratch this term with my phase three students I want them to become familiar with the Interface and where to find unfamiliar items. This map based quiz will hopefully help consilidate their understanding of where to find things in the program.
We will also need to become familiar with keywords and vocabulary. So how about a Wordsearch as a starter, before moving on to define and use these terms in learning diaries and such.
Other great tasks available include "word jumbles," "sentence jumbles," "matching" and "crossword" interactivities.
These can be saved in your account space and then embed codes generated for the tasks copied and pasted into html view in you pages or tasks that can be shared with students either in the VLE or through provision of shared shortcuts to specific pages online you have created.
Oh and did I mention that the site is free!
Enjoy..... :o)

PLTS Slideshows
Since September I have been using a set of PowerPoint Templates to help organise, standardise and simplify my lesson planning and organisation.
The templates carry a standard style
My title slides include the session WALT and an image from the PLTS posters I created. The PLTS poster image displayed will be identified according to unit skills focus, and the particular skill focus for a session is highlighted on the image through the addition of an autoshape around it.
Slides to support progression within the lesson and outline tasks are inserted as duplicates where required in the lesson structure, and in some cases printed out for use on the desktops of students as “Success Criteria."
Within each Template show I have also inserted PLTS related slides, that contain the progressions we used to support learning during Integrated curriculum sessions. These have been placed to support rubric development by deletion. It is easier to start with all content included initially and delete those elements not required.
Here is an examples shared in Google Docs format to show what I mean. Any thoughts would be useful and helpful.
The templates carry a standard style
- Unit/Lesson/Challenge Title
- WALT (We Are Learning To) Overall Lesson Objective
- Differentiated WILFs (What I Am Looking Fors), these are leveled and coloured Red, Amber, Green in rubric format to enable a view of progression in learning.
