Fun Websites to use on your ActivBoard

spellingcity.com has been a huge hit with my students. There are a lot of really fun games the students can play to practice their words once the teacher has typed in the spelling list. Students can also take their tests online when they are ready and print it out for you. Check it out!

arcademicskillbuilders.com is another great website. My students are extremely motivated to play the games on it.

Info from their website: "Arcademic Skill Builders are research-based and standards-aligned educational games that offer an innovative approach to teaching basic academic skills. We incorporate features of arcade games and educational practices into fun online games that will engage, motivate, and teach your students".

There are single player and multi-player games available. Give them a try!

Central Valley Promethean Conference

Thanks to everyone who attended or presented at our User Conference in March! It was a very successful day and we had a lot of good feedback. We are hoping to make this a yearly event. Please post if you'd like to see anything new or different when we have another valley-wide user group. Also, feel free to post any Promethean-related questions here and one of us will answer you.
