Please take time to look at the new IWB resources created by Kay Ray and Joyce Cochrane (in Key Stage 2).

As usual these resources are available in French, German and Spanish.

Joyce will be producing materials for eriding.net, which will be published in this section when they become available


How To Access Information and Resources

The resources, in the majority of cases, have been written by professional educators working within the East Riding of Yorkshire LEA, or by national education bodies such as the Department for Education Standards.

Please use the menu on the left of the page to access the various sub-sections of this area, with some links able to expand to show more links to pages where a "plus" icon is visible.

Here you will find useful and relevant information, and teaching and learning resources where appropriate.

The individual resources or 'objects' are shown in a horizontal panel, which includes information relating to the use of the item, and also the file size, so you can make the choice as to what you download, depending on the specification of your Internet connection.

Just click on the title of the resource to open, or right-click to save directly to your computer via the "Save target as..." option.

The majority of the teaching and learning resources are designed to be downloaded, and then saved, altered and repurposed to suit the requirements of the lesson or individual user.

Please refer to our copyright policy (the link is in the panel at the foot of the page).

Please use the addresses provided at the foot of this page to contact us if you would like more information, or you would like to contribute information or resources for publication on the site.
