Drumcondra Education Centre - Interactive Whiteboards

(In case you arrive at this page via an Internet Search, click here to get to the CBI Project Homepage)

Useful Websites: Post-Primary

• The best place to start any search for websites suited to the Irish curriculum is, of course, Scoilnet http://www.scoilnet.ie
• Teachnet at www.teachnet.ie is a great place to see how other Irish teachers have implemented an ICT-enabled approach in their classrooms

History

• At http://www.derbyphotos.co.uk/thenandnow/index.htm, you will find “Derby Past & Present - in fading Photographs.” This is a nice idea for History on a CBI: Pause and Annotate

Languages

• http://www.laits.utexas.edu/fi/ for 'francais interactive' suitable for end of Second Level?
• http://fslactivities.sd61.bc.ca/games.html has 'online board games' - nice graphic that could be displayed on the CBI - not very interactive though - suitable for Junior Cert?
• http://www.pdictionary.com/ for 'the internet picture dictionary' uses Flash Cards in French, German, English etc. - quite nice, suitable for Primary and Junior Cert?

Science
