=General=

[|Teachers Domain] Although this is an American site, it contains Digital Media for the Classroom and Professional Development. Certainly worth a look and free to join and use resources.

[|TeacherLed.com] This site aims to provide teaching and learning resources to make the use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom easier and more productive.

[|iLearnTechnology.com] An edublog about integrating technology into the classroom. Has a section called Promethean QuickTips, some of which are shown below,.









[|Promethean Planet Australian Flipcharts, Weblinks and Resources] is a collection of all these resources in the one location.

[|Learning Objects] is a collection of favourite learning objects from The Learning Federation.

[|EtherPad] is a Realtime Collaborative Text Editing site that allows multiple people to work on the same text simultaneously. Great for collaborative storywriting.

[|Pencil Animation] If you are just wanting to try out animation, and see if it might fit in with your class, then there is a great free product called Pencil .. It is available for MAC, PC and Linux!

This lets you or your students build up animations using frames (like a flick book animation) and export them in various formats including FLASH files that you or they can embed in Promethean Flipcharts.

It is great on the Activboard because the pen is the natural interface for a program like this... and you can use the "onion skins" (Seeing what the previous page included) to help when drawing details because it is all so much bigger.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Lesson ideas...

- Illustrate how a seed grows - Develop an animation showing how planets, moons and the sun all move - Show the cycle of a four stroke engine - Make characters act our certain moods or activities - illustrate a life cycle
