Resource Packs

Resource Packs are collections/themes of videos, backgrounds, images, etc. that you can use when designing flipcharts. Promethean Planet has over 100 free Resource Packs for us to download!

To access the Resource Packs, login to the homepage of Promethean Planet, go to Resources, Resource Packs or click here for a direct link. This page has several sections to help you get started with Resource Packs. The How to Install and Video Tutorial sections are great but they haven't been updated so your page won't look exactly like theirs.

Here is one example of how to use a Resource Pack for your classroom. In 3rd grade we have a unit called Animal Habitats. I can download the Animal Habitats Resource Pack to help me plan flipchart lessons that go with my theme. The resource pack has backgrounds, illustrations, pictures, and videos about animals from deserts, savannas, oceans, forests, rainforests, and ponds. If I wanted even more resources on one of the habitats, I could download another Resource Pack like Marine Life.

Some of my favorite Resource Packs that any subject/grade level could use include Action Objects, Classroom Management, Classroom, and Hiding Things.

One other great Resource Pack is California. It includes 21 maps, pictures of famous Californians, photos of places in California, and images of symbolic things from CA.

You'll probably need to Reindex your Resource Library when you are finished installing all of your Resource Packs. I'll leave that explanation to Mike Dawson.
