There’s a number of new projects and free resources that have been created by the people at Google. It seems that they haven’t been fully launched yet, but they are asking for user feedback, so you could use them as a starter for a lesson on the uses of ICT and innovation. And of course there is always the chance that something on the site might turn out to be fundamentally useful! There’s a teacher’s review and access to all the new free resources on http://www.free-teaching-resources.co.uk/google.shtml
