One of the key whiteboard manufacturers, SMART Technologies, has launched its new EDCompass “online community” website with resources and lesson activities, following curriculum guidelines from the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. More than 100 from UK teachers can already be downloaded free, for a range of subjects including science, numeracy and literacy - Alice the Camel, for example, for key stage 1. Classroom materials were developed in SMART’s Notebook software and there are plenty of links for free online resources and websites that work with any kind of whiteboard. There’s also research and staff development material.
