Promethean Boards

pro

Now that we have so many Pro Boards in the building, let’s find some fun and creative ways to use them.

  • To find good websites that are very Promethean friendly, go to google.com and under advanced search, choose ‘Shockwave Flash’ for file type.
  • Teachertoast.com has podcasts about Promethean
  • Colorschemedesigner.com   useful to find good color combination for flipcharts
  • Prometheanplanet.com  has a flipchart search engine where you can find flipcharts that are ready for you to use.  You can also make changes to them to fit your needs.  You will need to have a Prometheanplanet.com account (free).
