i-board is made by Electronic Blackboard Ltd, a company run by Steven Rawlins, an ex-teacher and Interactive Whiteboard trainer.
As we trained teachers, we realised there was a requirement for good quality, highly visual materials, especially at KS1 and Reception.
We create open-ended tools and activities that enable teachers to direct their pupils learning and create a learning dialogue around the resource.
Originally a collection of CD ROMS, then an 'Online Club', our activities now live in the online 'i-board player'. This innovative portal allows schools to either purchase activities one-by-one or to subscribe to larger collections.
Partnerships
We work closely with LGFL and the majority of our resources are available for schools within London to use on the LGFL portal.
We are starting to work with a variety of publishers to provide a wider range of co-branded resources, delivered through the i-board player.
We are the producers of The Big Day Out, a free resource on the National Education Network.

The pupils and teachers should be in control of the resources - not the other way round!
Each activity should focus on a Learning Objective but allow it to be explored in different ways.
Animation and context should, wherever possible, add educational value and be relevant to the concept being learnt.
The activity should enable the teacher to set challenges and thinking tasks and be flexible enough to differentiate those to different levels of ability within the group.
When answers are checked, wherever possible there should be multiple possible solutions. Any feedback should guide pupils and encourage them to re-evaluate their answer!
