Feedback from Year 5

I have been talking to teachers in the school about their uses of the hardware so far. Ian Broyd, who leads year 5, made the following comment:

"The advantages of using the visualisers is that you show the children what their peers can do. When you type up work to show it loses something in the translation. It made the children realise what constitutes a good piece of work and the lengths that some of them have gone to.
The children were all very positive about the experience and I had more volunteers to show their work than I could fit in one session."

It is always exciting as a teacher when children are really motivated by their learning and want to contribute to whole class sessions. I have continued to use the visualiser in our Where the Wild Things Are literacy sessions. Three weeks of one book just whizzed by with a variety of rich multi-media being used to enhance the whole teaching process. The children have begun to use the visualiser themselves, which is enhancing their own ICT skills for the Control aspect of the schemes of work we follow.
