"This is a free range of interactive teaching programs (ITPs) designed to support whole class teaching. The Flash Design and Development was carried out by Lightness Ltd. The games may be used with interactive whiteboards or on individual computers. The materials are based around phonemes and include prefix and suffix materials as well as more general tools such as magnetic letters and numbers."

Math is one of the easiest subjects to use well on an interactive whiteboard. The Internet is awash with SMART Board Math games, but not all are worth your time. The ones in this article have been tried and tested in my classroom, and are long standing favorites with my students. Some are Internet based, and some are SMART Notebook files for you to download, but all are great fun and will help bring added engagement to your Math lessons. The majority of these SMART Board Math games can be used in a K-6 environment, but many can be used beyond that.

"I recently figured out a way to turn the iPad into an interactive whiteboard. Now, I'm not talking about just drawing on your iPad and projecting that drawing in front of the class, and I'm not talking about using the iPad2 to connect directly into a projector and show what's on the iPad. "

Cower in fear as the interactive whiteboard companies take teachers into The Cloud!

ZOMG! SMARTnotebook hits The Cloud!

Starfall is unique in that it begins with the basics (ABCs), moves through sounds, and finally reads aloud with the kid. It doesn't require any account or anything! Also, the stories in the "I'm Reading" section are clickable. So the kid can click on the words to have them read for him if he has trouble. Great resource because it begins with the basics and then builds from there. Awesome!

National Geographic Maps: Tools for Adventure is the best everything-map site I have seen. The site was created by the Children's museum of Indianapolis. Maps are presented as the keys to adventure. Students learn to use maps to find their way, share information, look at patterns, and solve problems. There are six excellent interactive games for students to practice putting their math skills to use. Students can explore a pyramid by guiding a robot to hieroglyphs, find sunken treasure, explore Mars, go on an adventure, see GIS in action, and visit Adventure Island. I love the realistic feel of these games, as students explore and guide robots, they get a "live" video feed of where they are navigating. On the National Geographic Maps: Tools for Adventures site, you will find information about the Indianapolis exhibit, how to use maps, related map links, and lesson plans. This is one of those websites that my description just won't do justice to, be sure to check it out!
