This is a page on the scholastic website that has interactive whiteboard activities for Earth Day. These activities include lessons on water conservation and recycling etc.
This simple site is a nice IWB online activity where students can choose letters to spell different words based on objects that they see. I really wish I could embed it, perhaps into an interactive lesson plan, but the little kids K-2, will like it.
A compilation of SMART lessons from a school district in Wichita. The lesson plans are categorized for K-8th grade and address a wide range of subject areas. There are also lessons to be used with a Senteo. All lessons can be downloaded.
I think the most important thing you can do for the little ones is to get them engaged in technology as soon as possible. With the IWB, Little Animation for Kids, has nice interactives and games suited nicely for the IWB.
While this tool doesn't give you URL or embeds, it's super easy to use, which can engage younger students very quickly. I always tell people to go the Web first and show off some of these web white board tools to teachers to hook them. Much of the software in Promethean and SMART can be overwhelming to teachers who fear technology. Engage them first with this tool.
Wow- what a unique tool for creation and exploration. I have to thank Kevin Jarrett for sharing this tool with me. It's reminiscent of those bottles were you fill with different colors of sand and layer them and then design them by sticking pencils in them. You get the idea. Fun tool.
Here's a simple site, mainly for drawing and artistry, but, like Dabbleboard, you can embed the picture into your site. I like embeds because I believe they can enhance the online learning environment by putting all of your tools in one place.
Scriblink is another tool similar to Dabbleboard, which can allow you to collaborate on the white board in real time, create graphic organizers, and save the URL. Check out a special message I made here.
