Ideally, we'll all construct our own flipcharts based upon our specific curriculum and needs, but timewise, that isn't always a reality, especially for novices. Whether you're building your own flipcharts or tweaking pre-made ones, there's a lot available to make your job easier.
Promethean Planet offers a wealth of teacher-created and commercial resources, particularly for elementary teachers. It's not the only place to find interactive materials for use on your whiteboard (IWB), though.
The National Science Center in Augusta, Georgia, for instance, has put together links to tools that can be used across the grade levels and curriculums. The list is divided by curriculum areas and subdivided into elementary, middle, and high school categories.
Brainpop Educators has resources for the Promethean Board. You may have to join the site to access the tools.
Check out this blog from Australia with some great ideas for using popular apps like Google Earth and Prezi with your IWB.
KScience out of the United Kingdom offers flash animations for science that will add a lot of pizzaz to your lesson--and increase understanding for your students.
High school math and science teachers should take a look at Absorb Learning for free IWB resources in chemistry, electronics, math, physics, and advanced physics.
You can find wildlife films and videos to embed in your IWB lessons at ArKive. They can be searched by species or geographic location.
freezeray is another place to look for visuals for your high school science flipcharts. Biology, physics, technology, chemistry...in fact, I've found some great interactive examples of simple machines in the technology category that I plan to use with my 6th grade class when we study pulleys.
Biology in Motion is a resource I'll definitely make use of in our life science units.
Hmmm....looks a little heavy on science here, but that's what I'm especially interested in using my Promethean Board for at the moment. (-;
