Here are a selection of websites which might make creating resources for your lessons and powerpoints a little quicker and easier?

Please let us know if you find another gem and we can add it here or swap it for an older, dated link!

Icons

This is a great free website for icon images - small, simple pictures which you can use for dual coding within slides or dual coded worksheets for pupils with EAL or limited reading skills: https://www.flaticon.com/ 

Animated Text

Embedding a video into your powerpoint slide can help captivate your pupils. This website allows you to insert your own text and choose from a range of different styles of animation before exporting your scene to a video loop: https://spacetypegenerator.com/ 

PNG Images

Finding good quality images without a background can be hard - stop doomscrolling on Google or hoping for the best with AI, and search this catalogue of high quality png pics: https://pngimg.com/ 

... Just make sure that you look for the images with a chequered background, click on the image to view full size, then "right-click" and "Save Image As". Clicking on the download button doesn't always work. 

Archived Images, Videos, Audio Clips, Text

Here you can find useful materials linked to your taught topic from a huge library of media archives - Newspapers, Radio Recordings, TV Shows, News, Documentaries and Interviews. This could be great for many subjects, but particularly History!: https://archive.org/
