For over 85 years, Scholastic, Inc. has worked very hard on achieving it's main objective of "helping children around the world to read and learn."
For me, it's great to see a company that's been around so long realize that interactive whiteboards can be an extremely powerful tool for the classroom.
Not only have they created an incredible resource for teachers, students, and parents called Scholastic.com, they've created separate Interactive Whiteboard Activities section.
Scholastic also seems to realize that many teachers are still learning how to use resources effectively with an interactive whiteboard. To help these teachers, each of the listed activities contains a "See Whiteboard Tips" link that provides suggestions on using the activity in the SMART Board classroom. Teachers can also view a Teacher's Guide that will help teachers develop an entire lesson plan around the activity.
I believe this site provides a great model for schools to use when building a library of interactive resources for the SMART Board.
I know you'll enjoy this amazing resource as much as I do.
Sharing Is Caring!
