i-board is designed by Steven Rawlins, an ex-teacher and Interactive Whiteboard trainer.

The i-board materials were acquired by TSL Education Limited at the end of November and as a result of TSL's current and planned future investment, all these popular resources will be available immediately for free.

Steven Rawlins will continue to work for TSL Education Limited, extending the resources into keystage 2.

i-board resources are open-ended tools that enable teachers to direct their pupils learning and create a learning dialogue around the resource.

* 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!
