Getting the most from your interactive whiteboard: A guide for primary schools This guide is specifically aimed at senior managers and teachers in primary schools, and includes practical classroom examples and case studies.

Teachers are conditioned to tolerate a lot of abuse-it's a professional hazard-but what faculty members at Sir G. E. Cartier Elementary School in London, Ontario, went through last spring seems beyond the call of duty: a few of them agreed to be duct-taped to a gym wall while students hit them in the face with pies. Why on earth would they do that? To raise $3,000-enough cash for an interactive whiteboard, the most coveted piece of educational technology on the market right now.

This theme page presents a collection of information and research on the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom, as well as links to interactive curriculum resources.

161 free to use educational interactive resources for Primary Schools. 15 free to use fun games for children aged 4 - 11. 100 web links to other free interactive, image and software resources.

This is a fee-based service, but the activities it contains are aligned to standards. The interactives really help to unlock the potential of your interactive white board. Students can also access the activities from home for additional practice and reinforcement. It's a great service that might be worth checking out.

Hi Jess, could I also add, that there is a greater issue with interactive Whiteboards. Some of the big teaching colleges and Universities in Australia did not have any!! or they were very outdated,... or they were bought the wrong ones!! As some of the Universites are tech phonic... the reality of interactive whiteboards is up to the inspiration of the academic.... Something which is not that transparent when you look at fancy marketed websites.

Could I also add, being a primary school trained teacher and academic in education, most retiring academics do not wish to learn to teach with technology (out of their comfort zone) and believe.... firmly that face to face ... is the only way....to educate. Technology has been pushed globally into the education system, with pedagogy taking last place. Pedagogy is the teaching strategies where teachers construct learning in a classroom, when they are given a broad socially constructed curriculum... i.e the teachers science or magic potion which supports student learning. while interactive whiteboards add an amazing dimension to learning, it is only as good as the student teacher, who is often thrusted into a teaching classroom,,, and needs to grapple with the technology as there are many products out there and work differently... need alone.... Batteries!!! yes batteries should always be in the tool kit of a teacher now.
