Curriculumbits.com is a wonderful resource offering free online access to interactive multimedia elearning resources. The online resource library contains games, quizzes, animations and videos in a variety of subjects for students aged 11 to 16.  The resources are available to access online, completely free of charge in the library (they no longer offer the option to download resources). Simply click the PLAY button. You do not need to register to access the resources.  After previewing resources I would suggest you bookmark the resource you want to use in your classroom. Many of these resources will work well on the SMART Board. ENJOY!

PBSteachers over on Twitter just shared a great new SMART Board resource from PBS Kids.  In their own words, “Students will enjoy participating in these collaborative, fun and engaging experiences, while exploring curriculum from trusted programs such as Curious George, Super Why and Arthur. Like our programs, all of our games are age-appropriate and vetted by educators.”  The majority of games are for PreK-2 grade, but there are some that are appropriate for grades 3-5 and 6-8.  The subject areas in collection include Language Arts, Social Science, The Arts, and Math.  ENJOY!
