Topmarks
There are an increasing number of practitioners who are keen to find resources to use with their interactive whiteboards. Topmarks offers a helpful focus on precisely that - FREE "Interactive Whiteboard Resources"
Topmarks...
- bills itself as an "Educational Search Engine". It is a site where users search from pre-selected resources that are some of the best available on the web.
- claims that "All of the content on Topmarks is carefully reviewed by qualified practitioners and regularly re-checked because of the changing nature of the web."
Users can...
- do a general search. For example, if you enter "number line", the search returns 30 activities that use the number line to help learn mathematical concepts. The majority of these are high quality flash activities that lend themselves to use on an individual computer or on an interactive white board. The targeted learning level is suggested for each activity.
- do a search for learning activities by subject area and by age level. The list of subjects is extensive, and the age range extends from early years through higher education.
Topmarks also has a place dedicated specifically to helping practitioners find resources that work well on an interactive whiteboard.
If you are a busy practitioner who wants to find and use digital resources in your teaching, using an interactive whiteboard, then I think you need to check this out!
