Learningclip.co.uk is a math website that includes many different interactive activities that work well on the SMART Board. What’s different about this site is that each activity begins with a video clip explaining the activity. This site is based out of the UK, so you’ll have to watch for the currency and measurement differences. The activities can be made full screen, and each comes with 3 handy tools to help students work the problem on the board: a clock, calculator, and notepad. The resources are free, but you do need to create an account to access them. It’s well worth it! Check out Division Ducks.

BGfL.org (Birmingham Grid for Learning) is a fantastic collection of interactive activities based out of the UK for students of all ages that can be used on the SMART Board. From the site:
BGfL provides a wealth of information and activities that are not only educationally sound, engaging and fun, but are also highly focused on appropriate interfaces for each key stage and for teachers.
Here is just one of the many interactives found at BGfL.org called Don’t Use Said (“A great teaching resource for looking at alternatives to the word ‘said’ in written work.”) I could see this being used for a DOL activity on the SMART Board. There are many more, so click here to view additional Primary resources.
Another fabulous site for PreK-2nd grade and children with special needs! HelpKidzLearn.com offers games, stories, creative and informational activities, and all work well on the SMART Board. Below is a preview of the TrainTracker activity and the Fossil Hunter game, just a few of the MANY activities this site has to offer. Visit the site to see more, or you can follow them on Twitter @helpkidzlearn to get updates when new activities are added.

What an exciting resource to use on the SMART Board! I ran across Word Magnets by Triptico.co.uk while searching through some SMART Board delicious links. Here is the explanation from the site:
Word Magnets will take a piece of text and break it into individual magnets which can be moved around the screen, resized, removed, colour coded, grouped, sorted and so on. New magnets can also be added at any point.
Have fun with this one!
UPDATE: The new multilingual Word Magnets have just been released!
