Cool Sites

Here are a couple of cool new sites for you to try ( I have added them to the video links as well). Teaching Videos and Right Brain Math ( you have to buy the book but the videos are free to watch).

Word sites

Check out the 2 new websites I have added to the links.  Word Hippo and Visuwords, they are great sites that you could use for writing, mindmapping.....endless uses.

Virtual Manipulatives

This website has some great manipulatives such as Place Value, Charts and Graphs, adition and subtraction etc  that will enhance your lessons. They aren't overly flashy but are a good solid resource.

Next IWB session

Story Starter

Hi
I have just a few new links to my websites, including one called story starter. This is a great website by Scholastic that allows students ( or class) to randomly choose a story to write. It's a great resource that takes that 'I don't know what to write' out of your writing lesson.

Also check out the new science websites I have added including 10 cool sites, Edheads and what a blast!

Hope you are enjoying your IWB!

Til next time

Letter Bingo

I have just found this pretty cool Letter Bingo game on Study Ladder. You use the interactive bingo picker on the whiteboard and download the bimgo sheets for the students. For early years this can contain just the letters and for older students can contain their spelling words or core words.

See what you think.

Great Websites

This is where you can post your great websites that you have found useful in your classrooms.

To do this follow these simple instructions:-

• In the comment box type in a small overview of the site eg. KLA, year level suitable for etc etc
• Paste the URL of the website
• I will then go in and add these sites to our 'Website Links' that will appear on the right hand side of the page.

Easy as!

Make sure you click on the 'follow' link that appears on the right hand side so that anytime a new posting happens you will be notified. This way you will always be up to date with the latest IWB resources.

Welcome

Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) have become popular in many classrooms around the country. This blog will hopefully be a way that teachers can share their experiences, interesting websites and pose questions.

I hope this helps you in your journey in discovering the wonderful world of IWBs.

Cheers
Julie
