#Back2School Part 1 of 5 –Promethean Planet

If you have been enjoying too much sun and sand this summer and have left it too late to plan for your new classes in September then these 5 blog posts will save your start to a new academic year.

The first being profiled is Promethean Planet, it is the world’s largest online interactive whiteboard technology community, containing thousands of fully customable lesson resources. ‘Planet’ is designed to provide teachers with the ability to share new and innovative lessons, not just with those in the same school, but potentially with teachers from anywhere around the world.

Promethean Planet

The community recently reached its millionth member and is constantly adding new content, such as the programmes from Teachers TV, demonstrating just how truly interactive and informative it is.

There are 5 reasons why I think you should sign up to this community:

1. It is FREE – no sign up or registration costs and you can access lots of free resources! Just by signing up to the site: www.prometheanplanet.com

2. It will save you time – There are so many resources on here for Primary or Secondary and so many different subjects from lesson plans, resources, games and quizzes.

3. Connect and Collaborate with teachers all over the world and share ideas and techniques on how you are using whiteboards in your classroom.

4. Free CPD – There are free training courses at many different levels with online support in learning new tricks and techniques with the whiteboard.

5. This is one of my favourite parts of the site which I really didn’t expect to find is all the research and publications you can download for free on various different subjects including leadership. In addition to this there is a thought leadership series with Webcasts with people such as Mark Prensky and Alan November which are brilliant and also free.

Are you a member of the community? Are you considering joining? Have you uploaded your own resources on there? Would like to hear how you are using it.
