iBoard – Free interactive KS1 resources

Posted on Feb 5, 2010 in Activity Ideas, Games and interactives, Literacy Resources, Numeracy Resources, Science Resources, Useful Links | 2 comments

iBoard first caught my eye last year at the BETT exhibition. They produce an excellent bank of interactive resources for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes in several subjects, including literacy, numeracy and science.

Since then, iBoard has been purchased by the Times Educational Supplement (TES) and made available free of charge to all teachers, which is an excellent development.

You can access the resources here: http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/

Thanks to James Hollis for reminding me of this excellent resource!

Teaching with Smartboard is an excellent resource for all Smartboard users.

The site hosts regular video podcasts which explores SMARTBoard teaching techniques to maths teachers. Each episode lasts from 10-20 minutes.  Our emphasis and purpose is to create lessons that are engaging for students.

Dave Sladkey is a high school math teacher and Scott Miller is the Instructional Coordinator for the Math Department at Naperville Central High School in Naperville Illinois. They’ve put together an excellent resource! Go take a look now.
