IWB Delicious
I may have mentioned Classtools.net before, but I’ve been using it a lot recently so it’s worth another mention. There are lots of handy flash tools on this site, but these two are my favourites.
Countdown Timer
This is a cute little tool that allows you to set the class a time limit for a given task, [...]
Following on from this post; I have two videos to share with you. Today we tried the Diet Coke and Mentos experiments.
The first was streamed direct onto the internet using Qik.com
The second was put together in Windows Movie Maker using clips from my camcorder

I’ve been hearing about the Flip video from teachers across the pond via Twitter for a few weeks or so. They’re now available in the UK.
The flip video is a small handheld camcorder with 2GB of on-board memory. It can take up to 60 minutes of video in 640×480 resolution.
The best bit is that it [...]

Here are some handy links for teaching Primary Electricity on an IWB
This is something I haven’t seen before. Looks quite fun
The Blobz Guide to Circuits
I used to use a great piece of free software called Crocodile Elementary, from Crocodile Clips. It seemed to have gone but I think I’ve found it again. It’s been rebranded [...]
There are different ways to get multimedia content onto your IWB. Youtube is pretty good, but it can be something of a lottery. Buying professional CD’s and DVD’s is another option.
One other way that has interested me for a while, is turning your computer into a Television. This is becoming easier and easier.

I’m doing a Whiteboard in Science training day tomorrow, so here’s a quick post to use partly as a brain dump and partly so I can point the trainees towards to cover some of things that I will be mentioning during the day.
Firstly – a summary of useful links from the last day can be [...]
Not a totally whiteboard related post, but in a few weeks time I am going to be trying out the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment with my group of Primary Teachers. We’ve talked about it quite a bit over the year, but haven’t actually tried it out yet.
I was looking into release mechanisms to allow [...]
Here’s a nice site for teachers with lots of Flash resources to use on your Interactive Whiteboard.
They are produced by a classroom teacher, and focus mainly on Primary Maths resources at present. It’s well worth a visit.
