The Curriculum Corner Section of the US Promethean Planet (found under Professional Development) was designed to show teachers via video ideas on how to use specific lessons with their students and well as tips on how they were created.

Each video links to the flipchart that can be downloaded and used in the classroom.

Promethean has just updated Curriculum Corner with an additional 5 videos, bringing the total to 16.

While the videos are organized by Elementary, Middle and High, please note that these are examples whose development and delivery concepts could be applied to multiple subjects and/or ages of students.

Below you will find the links and descriptions of the 5 new video lessons.

PLEASE let me know if you like these (or not!) Or if you have any suggestions for future ones.

Enjoy!

Thanks Lisa for letting us know. I'll use the Simple Sentences with a second grade class in the morning. I like the way the students are introduced to the skill, practice the skill, and then are assessed through the voting pages. [clap]
