Our digital devices provide us with the opportunity to draw the world around us. Being able to express their ideas with drawings can make learning more accessible, engaging and meaningful for learners. These are links to sites and resources to support you and your learners with creating digital drawings.

Assessing Numeracy and Maths with Forms
Forms can be used to create Quizzes (which allow assessment and feedback) or Forms (which collect information, such as evaluations). They can contain text, images and videos, which makes them engaging and accessible to more learners. A Quiz can also be set with correct answers and this will automatically assess and provide feedback to learners, which is ideal for metacognition. They are easy to duplicate and share between staff which can support moderation, ensure assessment is proportional and comparable between classes or levels.

Cryptography
Cryptography is the study of constructing and analysing protocols that prevent third parties or the public from reading private messages. Encryption is used to secure our digital devices and services – whether that’s passwords, emails or social media – it takes information or data and disguises (encrypts) it, so that only the person who is supposed to access it can (be decrypting).
This wakelet contains links to cryptography resources that may be engaging for learners in numeracy and mathematics, computing science or social studies contexts – for example, Alan Turing and the mathematicians at Bletchley Park who decrypted hidden messages during WWII.
There are lots of other examples of encryption and cyphers throughout history – do you know of any?
