Interactive Links-Whiteboard

Online Resources to use with interactive boards

NEW!

1. Tes iboard: (click on pic for link)

This site comes from the United Kingdom (a leader in technology education-Easiteach was designed in Great Britain, too). This site says its purpose is to build a library of visual, dynamic, interactive resources. The resources are designed to be used by the teacher with the interactive whiteboard. All the resources are FREE! There are many useful interactive resources that can be used in the elementary classroom-this will take some investigation on your part, though, because the organization of the site is based on the British education system. There are resources for many subject areas.

To select the game you want to preview, select the picture icon for the game & click the play "arrow" in the middle of the screen and it will open as a full screen application running on your laptop and easy to use with your interactive board. You may want to explore both all the TABS across the top of the page (KS1 & KS2) along with subject tabs.

Here is a preview of the main homepage:

I encourage you to start exploring this site now!

2. YouTube: Have Fun Teaching Channel (click on pic for link)

Check out this link for engaging videos for primary students. Sing-a-long videos for sounds, words, counting and more! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page and explore other pages for more videos from this company! Again…FREE!
