Some Whiteboard ideas - scroll down for more... if you have any ideas let's share them with the other teachers in Pembrokeshire!

Teachers submitting materials to share here MUST ensure they do not breach copyright laws
in any resource, particularly with maps and graphics. Information on copyright issues is available from BECTA HERE - and from the CLA HERE - thanks to Maggie Thomas for this information. 

Some resources are password protected - normal user name and passwords apply.  If you do not know the passwords please contact tim.burton@pembrokeshire.gov.uk, alona.jones@pembrokeshire.gov.uk or duncan.whitehurst@pembrokeshire.gov.uk.

Some resources will currently take a minute or so to show on your IWB screen; please be patient until broadband connections arrive everywhere, until then a good idea is to run through the presentation before using with pupils so that the files are "cached" on your computer!  Scroll down for lots more !!

Editable Literacy Powerpoints and Easiteach Maths Coordinates lessons for Year 5 and 6 by Jane Rees of Llangwm School (normal username and passwords needed)

 


There are many other ways to use the Interactive Whiteboard.  We are grateful to Sheila Furniss of Templeton School for these two examples of the use of Publisher as an interactive teaching tool.  With Publisher in edit mode with the "View, guidelines" turned off, it is possible to get pupils to the board to uncover, drag and drop objects. 


You will need a copy of Microsoft Publisher in order to open and use these files.  These links are to useful lessons on "Probability" CLICK HERE and "3D Shapes" CLICK HERE (the second file is in self extracting Zip format to save downloading time).

Sheila has also put together some examples of lesson templates to be used with the Easiteach Maths package.  These can be saved to your hard disc by right clicking and choosing "Save".

An editable Powerpoint from Peter Lloyd of Hakin School showing the location of Hakin and Pembrokeshire and Botswana. (use normal username and password)
Why not adapt this to suit your own class/location using a map of your area from www.getamap.co.uk ?


A drag and drop Alphabet Board to use on the Interactive Whiteboard from Annie Hammersley - Templeton School (use normal username and password).
Words can be made by dragging the coloured letters and clusters onto the white area for literacy lessons.

 


Tim Pounder of Johnston School has been using the Whiteboard when marking work.  He chooses a good example of handwritten literacy work that he is able to mark positively, scans it onto the board using the free software Irfanview, and talks through his marking with his pupils.  As well as giving the whole class a better understanding of what he is looking for in their work this has had the spin off that some of the pupils in his class are now improving the quality of their written work because they wish to see their own work on display on the board.

Tom Cox of Tenby Junior School uses the Handwriting Recognition software that comes with the Hitachi Starboards (in the advanced toolbar section) with pupils who have difficulty forming letters.  They get a sense of achievement when they use the  pen to form letters using the recognition software, because the software recognises their handwriting correctly and their efforts are changed into legible "text".

Existing sections of the PGFL web site can also be used direct to the Interactive Board (for instance try this link) but many can also be adapted to the level of your pupils by copying, pasting and editing into applications such as Publisher, Powerpoint and Illuminatus. 

If you do not have Powerpoint on your machine, please visit the BECTA Site below which will give you the opportunity to download the Powerpoint Viewer.

The BECTA "Teacher Resource Exchange" has some useful content.  You can search the resource by Key Stage or by Subject Area.  You may also  look in "Useful Software" to download programs like Winzip, and if you do not have Microsoft Office installed, you might also need to install the Viewer Software from the "Useful Software" page.  Registration is not essential but recommended to pinpoint resources suitable for the level you are teaching. 

Click HERE to access the Teacher Resource Exchange

Another option is to search the Internet using www.google.co.uk  or www.bbc.co.uk safe search, including your subject/topic,  and the term ".ppt" in  the search field if you are looking for a Powerpoint presentation (for example try a search for tudors and .ppt or victorians and .ppt to see what comes up in a U.K. search).
