ways to support learning alongside pupil development.
Could somebody please throw me one example of each to get me started please....
I have done no I.C.T in my class as yet so this is a whole new section for me.

Cross curricular use
Problem solving
Finding things out
Whole class sessions/group work/individual work
Enjoyment
Multisensory approach
New technologies
Useful for SEN

Thank you xxxx

SEN - we use clicker 5, writing with symbols
Multisensory approach - different switches can be used
Enjoyment- We use laptops an IWB as a golden time treat
Finding out things - internet as a reseach tool

Is that the sort of thing you are looking for?

Not sure if this is what you want, but it may help:

cc use - take digital photos of growing bean to show growth and chart (maths and biology)
ps - computer game
fo - internet, variety of different styles and types of information
wc - interactive whiteboard to show video and info table alternately
gw - BBC dancemat typing tutor
iw - use a webcam to 'film' animations - think wallace and gromit - use plasticene (can also be done with partners or small groups)
e - taking digital photos for an end of year scrapbook
ms - programs using sound - especially as a reward for getting the right answer or recording a piece of music played on an instrument or sung
nt - using a ds to promote learning - maths tutor/ brain training/ sight training
sen - using a dictaphone to dictate a story for typing up - a child with writing problems (various reasons)

Interactive whiteboards or similar.
One class are piloting a system that enables pupils to vote for the correct answer (like on the telly). The teacher can see who gets the answer correct and who needs more help.
Educational games
Rewards - sound or visual
google and other serch engines for finding things out
