Good morning, Wayne, and welcome to the forums! I'm certain you'll get a lot of helpful responses here, but you might also be well off to search our resources at the link below for flipcharts that teachers have already submitted. Hopefully this helps. Thank you!

I have just been playing with Google maps.. Made a quick Roman fort tour... but I could imagine you making flipchart that link to such maps for History topics... Key sites in history..

Because you can actually draw lines and shapes - you can make a CD Rom like experience using authentic map data and make it a link from a Flipchart so you can keep notes, and do activities etc.

Roman fort example (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=bardon+mill&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&msa=0&msid=100593874713960862454.0004345e2ff09841b21f2&ll=54.991127,-2.360693&spn=0.001856,0.005193&z=18&mid=1183479765)

Hi Helen
It would be great if you would share them with others by submitting them to the resources section of Planet [clap]

I HAVE NOTICED YOU FIND MORE RESOURCES ON THIS LINK THAN THE UK HOMEPAGE.would it not be easier to have all flipcharts in one area and be able to search for them

I'm developing some new resource packs for Promethean. I am thinking on doing one with images etc from Vietnam. If anyone know of any good resources (copyright free, of course), let me know and I will include them!

Thanks,

Lisa
