TossPot Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Does anyone know of an interactive whiteboard training course that will be run in the forthcoming academic year? I'm looking for something that is suitable for Key Stage 2 (5-11 years). We have several Smartboards in school now but no-one really has the time or the skill to make the most of them. As ICT coordinator I've been tasked with the job of attending such a course and bringing back info and ideas for the rest of the staff for dissemination. I'm based in Germany but am prepared to travel anywhere in Europe for a decent course. I would be most grateful for any help/ideas. Thanks.
russdev Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I do not know any specific... but I would suggest contacting local smart tech reseller and see what they have on offer other people might be able to offer more specific advice and welcome our very first international member (if you do not count those funny folk in scotland ) Russ
Ric_ Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 http://www.atantot.com/ is a site created by a MFL teacher for use on an interactive whiteboard. There's some great ideas and is constantly being updated as the teacher improves her skills.
MkII Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Our whiteboard vendor [Hitachi] offerred free courses - is it basic or advanced you're after?

Ric_ Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 The teacher that has produced the Atantot site uses the Textease software quite a bit (not sure if any activities are on her site though). RM supply (and I think do training in) Textease in the UK. Probably very expensive though (being RM).
