Interactive Whiteboard Resources

The Whiteboard Blog This blog was created by Danny Nicholson who is a freelance educational consultant and PGCE science lecturer. He specializes in the use of Interactive Whiteboards, but he shares articles and tips about all sorts of technologies and websites, such as Wikis, online graphing paper, and websites with educational games. I rate this site 3 out of 5 stars because it is user-friendly and has accurate information. The creator, Danny Nicholson, is very "techy" and he creates screenshots of his topics, which are helpful. I rate this three stars because it is definitely a very good, informative website, but it is more specific and focused on Interactive Whiteboards, which makes it appealing to a smaller group of readers. I do not have access to an Interactive Whiteboard so I cannot put the information to use. There are still some very useful resources that are not related to Interactive Whiteboards. Also, the site is updated every few days, which limits its information compared to other sites that update everyday.

Smart Exchange is a website created for teachers who have a SmartBoard and/or SmartTable. This website is really neat, because you can search activities by specific grade or subject. You can also specify if you want to search for SmartBoard activities or SmartTable activities. Before finding this website, I had little time to create activities for the SmartBoard/SmartTable and I was not using it as much as I would like with my students. After finding this website, my students have so many activities to choose from. I definitely give this website a 5 out of 5 stars. http://exchange.smarttech.com/#tab=0
