Development of a new learning tool

I have been working for some time now on a new tool for the Interactive White Board and it is looking good and almost complete. It involves a set of 5 (possibly 6 haven't decided yet) parts which enables teachers to create interactive activities and save these as Adobe Flash files (Flash Player 10 required) to upload to websites, local networks, Learning Platforms, Blogs or just add to USB memory to use whenever or wherever you need.

I have always found the IWB limited in terms of interactability and therefore wanted to create a product which would aid teachers delivery of lessons and students learning.

The final product will be added to our current resource list

New website: create your own educational games

We have been working hard at creating a new service where teachers can create a series of different educational games for students to use in lessons, for homework or on the Virtual Learning Environment. We will launch the website soon but if you are eager to find out more please visit our main site to sign-up for our mailing-list to stay up-to-date with the latest developments.

The website is likely to be launched in its Beta version sometime in May 2009.

Best wishes,

The Firefly Learning team
