In the spirit of interactivity, we’ve spent the warmer months brushing up our knowledge of Promethean software and searching Teachitworld’s libraries for resources ripe for conversion into IWB wonders.
After a lot of nurturing, the results have at last borne fruit. We've gathered together here a collection of exciting resources that explore the interactive possibilities of the Promethean board and software. You will need to have Activstudio installed on your computer to open these files. Visit Promethean Planet to find out more.
If you’re interested in contributing any Promethean resources you may have stashed away (and would like to earn royalties for them) please email contribute@teachitworld.com.
