Visualisers - Next Level Teaching
What can a visualiser do for you ?
A visualiser shows text, images, work and objects in large scale via your classroom display. Use it to share ideas, text, images, best practice and more – no holding up and passing around, just inclusion for all.
- View objects close up using an optical zoom; how else can these be presented live to an entire classroom?
- Record movie demonstrations; capture methodologies and playback on display, retaining for future use.
- Use features such as annotation to label key areas of an object, or show spelling, punctuation and grammar.
- Use the ‘split-screen’ feature to show before and after, correct and incorrect or to highlight differences.
Why use a visualiser in the classroom?
