'Molly and the Pirate' Promethean has teamed up with the BT Better World Campaign to produce a resource designed specifically for whiteboard use. Mollly on Board uses the story, characters and graphics from one of BT’s popular comics and adapts it as a whiteboard resource. Teachers who helped in the development have also produced curriculum links and guidance on how they’ve used the resource in class. BT worked with Promethean to develop their first resource produced specifically for use with a whiteboard.

 “Whiteboards provide an amazing way for teachers to stimulate class discussion and group activities, “ said Dave Hancock, head of education and volunteering at BT. “The Better World Campaign promotes better communication skills for young people, their parents and their teachers because we believe speaking and listen ing is the number one skill. Working with Promethean has encouraged us to look at how the new digital technologies in the classroom can promote more speaking and liste ning activities.”

BT makes a range of educational resources that promote better comm un ication ski lls for children, their parents and teachers. All are available free from BT’s website www.btbetterworld.com as part of BT’s Better World Campaign that works to give children a voice.”

The Molly and the Pirate flipchart is ideal for mainstream school Years 5 & 6, but will also engage Year 7 students.
