Interactive whiteboards

teachtyw

Hi my school recently got an interactive whiteboard and are trying to come up with ideas/lesson plans for next year in English and Irish. Any ideas?

I'd be interested to see what ideas pop up here even though I'm not a teacher.
For those interested in the tech without the huge cost, here's an alternative.

I like the bit where he has the projector pointing at the table!

But still, I'll keep my Smartboard any day

OP, in terms of lessons, I've found the best way is to create stuff yourself. At the end of the day, the board is just another resource at your disposal.

That said, http://www.topmarks.co.uk/ and http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/ tend to have some handy "ready-made" lessons/resources.
