Sparklebox has been an excellent site for teacher resources for download. The site is now even better since everything is now free!
If you haven’t been to the site, check out http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/
Lots of resources for all subjects, not just science ones.
Tom Barrett has set up an excellent presentation in Google Docs giving ideas for using interactive whiteboards in the classroom. What’s really fun is that is uses the collaborative nature of Google Docs so that the finished product has been worked on by many different teachers. (read more)
And I say finished product tentatively, because its still being added to. 34 tips so far and counting.
If you are interested in reading more about how teachers are using technology in their classroom then here are some very good blogs that are worth reading.
If you haven’t already, it’s well worth signing up with Google for a google reader account. You can then copy the addresses of the blogs into Google Reader and read them all in one place – no need to trawl through each blog checking if they’ve been updated. (and of course remember to put this blog in there too!)
(well the last word for now) Keep an eye on this website http://mentos.co.uk/fountaincompetition/ This year’s competition is closed but hopefully they’ll run it again.
For now, there are some fun videos in the Gallery section – maybe inspire you to try some displays of your own.
