Phone/tablet as visualiser - thanks to Maura
This is a link to a demo of how to use any smartphone or tablet as a visualiser.  Thanks to Maura for suggesting the idea - I just reviewed a few similar videos until I found  a nice simple one that works on any smartphone or tablet. It uses Zoom - with which we are all now familiar - and the home-made nature of the rest of it might appeal to us primary school teachers. It's also not as annoyingly American as some others!

Picture
Sp Ed compendium - thanks to Paula
Thanks to Paula. This is a PDF of resources suitable for SET (and possibly some others, as she says.) It's huge! Contents list on pp 6-19. These are done as links, clicking on a subject will take you to the resource.
