Visualisers Again

Tomorrow I am going to be working with a teacher on the use of a visualiser. I thought I'd use this post to remind readers of the visualiser forum and to blog some ideas about how a visualiser can be used in the classroom.

Uses for the Visualiser:

• To demonstrate processes in Design and Technology and Art
• To make any book a shared big book for reading
• To show off a good piece of work
• To look up-close @ Mini-Beasts, leaves, rice, sugar or some pond dipping
• To show children how you'd like their work set out in Maths
• To avoid photocopying by using just one worksheet
• To support children with visual impairments
• To record short films such as seeds germinating
• To use as a capture tool for images- which can then be used on the whiteboard or in Word to make worksheets
• To demonstrate letter formation
• And... - please let me know if I have missed any

Thanks to Aver Media, Samsung and Dave Smith for posting the following videos on YouTube, these give context and inspiration for the use of the Visualiser:
