“This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in 11-18 Schools.
The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource. It is hoped that the resources will help students to make sense of some of the more challenging concepts they encounter.”

Learning Today
A website with some very easy to use and pupil friendly interactive activities for reading, maths and more! Also contains some inspiring videos for educators!
Priory Woods – Switch / Touch Screen ‘Videos’
These are great fun. I use them with classes that need short, sharp tasks and then a reward. To break the lessons up into manageable 10 minute chunks my students sometimes get rewarded with a choice of one of these silly videos. It all helps with behaviour management 
The site’s creators come from the teaching expertise of a special school so these videos are actually intended to help children to understand and generalise cause and effect (the action / reaction bond), one of the foundation stones for early learning. All of the videos can be played on-line or downloaded for use on a PC or Macintosh computer.
They are also links to interactive talking story books and other useful interactive activities.
Class Tools.net
Classtools.net allows you to create free educational games, activities and diagrams in a Flash! Host them on your own blog, website or intranet! No signup, no passwords, no charge! Perfect for virtual learning environments and IWBs.
My favorite tool is the “Random Name Picker” fruit machine. My students never argue over who goes first if the fruit machine chooses them!
