I made this using Tagxedo for my class on Monday and thought other teachers might find it useful. I’ve included the list of words I put in too.

Tripline is a great website I found out about through Twitter. You can use it to create personalised maps showing individual locations or a longer journey, including adding photos and extra information about the places. It requires you to sign in, but it’s free and you can link it to your facebook account so you don’t have to remember extra passwords. You can also browse other people’s maps without logging in.
Here is a map I made showing all the places I visited on my year abroad in 2006 and 2007. I haven’t managed to add photos to it yet, as I haven’t had time, but one day I hope I will.

The Intellectual Property Office are in charge of copyrights, patents and trademarks (among other things) issued and managed in the UK. Together with Aardman Animations, the creators of Wallace and Gromit, they put together an exhibition combining some of Wallace’s most entertaining inventions and information about what intellectual property is. It was fun and engaging, and best of all, I got some postcards to bring home. I saw it at the Life Science Centre in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, and there will be more prompts from there in the future, so watch this space.

I picked up this bookmark on a recent visit to the Seven Stories museum of children’s books with Lizzie Pinard. We spent a brilliant two hours there, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in or around Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.
