Revisiting the Interactive Resources at tes.iboard.co.uk</h1> <article> <h1>Revisiting the Interactive Resources at tes.iboard.co.uk</h1> <p>Mrs. Coggin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:45:53 +0000</p> <p>Back in December I <a href="http://smartboardgoodies.com/2009/12/08/interactive-resources-from-iboard-co-uk/">blogged about</a> the <strong>gold mine</strong> of interactive whiteboard resources found at <a href="http://tes.iboard.co.uk">tes.iboard.co.uk</a>. At the time, the site offered their resources free for 6 months with a school account. I am happy to announce that now ALL the resources are <em>free </em>and no account creation is needed. Please have another look at this gem for whiteboard resources in all subjects. Thanks to Jonathan Wylie over at <a href="http://www.educationtechnologyblog.com/">The Education Technology Blog</a> for bringing this to my attention again!</p> <p><em><br /> </em>Below is a really cool <a href="http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/activity/literacy/.cU4ka3Us2LV5Ju5MGjAnf">Insect Survey</a> activity. From the site: <em>Zoom in on different parts of the picture to count the insects. Use the three sets of data to prompt a range of comparison questions. Investigate which insects are in the scene – could be used as a preliminary activity before carrying out a survey in the school grounds and plotting the results. </em><em><br /> </em></p> <p><em><a href="http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/activity/literacy/.cU4ka3Us2LV5Ju5MGjAnf"></a><br /> </em></p> <script type="text/javascript"> addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fsmartboardgoodies.com%2F2010%2F02%2F08%2Fiboard%2F'; addthis_title = 'Revisiting+the+Interactive+Resources+at+tes.iboard.co.uk'; addthis_pub = ''; </script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" ></script> </article> <article> <h1>Sadlier-oxford.com Interactive Resources</h1> <p>Mrs. Coggin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:52:36 +0000</p> <p><a href="http://sadlier-oxford.com">Sadlier-oxford.com</a> offers a wonderful collection of interactive resources for students in grades PreK-6.

In Study Island, students earn Blue Ribbons by mastering different content standards in Math, Reading, and Science. You can pull Blue Ribbon reports using the program to gather data; however, I have created a SMART Notebook file that will allow the students place the Blue Ribbons under the standards they have mastered. Students love any chance to touch the SMART Board! Please feel free to use them and change as needed.
