Using Interactive Whiteboards

We are currently developing the Interactive Whiteboard part of our website and hope to use it to help coordinate and disseminate materials from our involvement in the National Whiteboard Network and to help support our schools who are involved in using whiteboards through the DfES whiteboard initiative or through their own acquisition of a whiteboard.

As well as links to useful sites and materials, we would also like your input into this section of the website. If you know of good resources on the web - send us the web address or if you have made some resources for use with an interactive whiteboard and are willing to share them on the website email them to us at icthepscott@northumberland.gov.uk

Buying more Interactive Whiteboards - during the DfES whiteboards project we used RM to install and supply the Smartboards around County. We have been pleased with the installation service provided by RM and have negotiated with them discounted rates for the supply and installation of Interactive whiteboards this year. Schools who wish to order interactive whiteboard installations through RM can do so by following the information in the two documents below. Click on the links to download the documents.
