FANTASTIC! "This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in 11-18 Schools.

The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource.

It is hoped that the resources will help students to make sense of some of the more challenging concepts they encounter.

Many of the resources can be used to support starter or plenary activities.

"Chartophiles and students, have you heard that Google has made it incredibly easy to generate your own slick-looking charts? It’s true, and all it takes to make one is the ability to read and edit a URL. This has made it possible to get creative with charts and wow the audience for your next classroom presentation. Read on to see what’s been done, and how you can easily do it yourself."

"Evolution & Taxonomy
Evolution is often called the “unifying theory of biology” because it organizes all of the observations gathered by biologists and proposes and explanation for those observations. All state standards for teaching science include a section on evolution (sometimes called adaptation or change over time)."

"Ocean Life
Fish are part of the ocean ecosystem. These fish shine in the clear blue water.
The oceans are full of life. A variety of animals and plants must survive together. Invertebrates like crabs, starfish and worms roam the sea floors. Coral grow in large numbers, creating a home for these creatures. All of these animals are called invertebrates, because they don't have a backbone.
Meanwhile, schools of fish roam the depths also looking for a bite to eat. The triggerfish looks for a wandering crab in a reef while a group of tuna pass by. They must stay alert, because the ferocious tiger shark is looking for its prey.
In shallow depths, the plant life flourishes. Sunlight beams down on the different types of algae. These simple plants serve as food for many animals of the sea. Not only are they important to the food chain, they are also used by people in toothpaste, make-up and even clothes!
In the deeper parts of the ocean, the largest animal known is swimming around. The giant blue whale, which can reach 80 feet in length, is a mammal. A family of dolphins plays nearby, but must beware of the pod of killer whales looking for a meal.
Together, these plants and animals make up what we call sea life. Scientists say that life began in the seas, which means that without these creatures, we would not exist. Use the table below to learn all about different sea life.
One way to explore ocean life is by scuba diving. Another way is to use a deep-sea submersible like the Alvin. "

Whist the software that comes with your board is a consideration in the purchase decision, your board is capable of turning any piece of software into an interactive learning tool. Carefully examine how well your intended board runs a variety of software and be very cautious of "free steak knives", look carefully at ongoing costs charged by some IWB software vendors. Ensure that the software is versatile and allows you to develop your own content.
