Why it’s great…. • You can direct the students’ attention • It’s ‘active’ & they like using it • It doesn’t take long to master the basics
I use it… • as a ‘conventional’ board (but with typed text) • with PowerPoint to provide lesson structure and stimulus • to ‘unroll’ poems and other texts • to analyse the presentation features and content of websites • to show programmes or films on a ‘big screen’
The ‘conventional’ board • you can ‘create’ flipcharts in advance of the lesson • you can use as many pages as you like, returning to previous points for revision & reminders • you can move text around, hide it, annotate over it and use the kind of presentation features you would in a word document
PowerPoint • you can use your PowerPoint presentation ‘interactively’ • sound effects and animations add interest • students’ own presentations have more impact
Now read the mystery of the Mary Celeste • What do you think happened? Discuss the possibilities in your groups.
‘Kid’ by Simon Armitage • The images of Batman and Robin are taken from the TV series from the 70s
‘Unrolling’ poems or texts • The spotlight tool allows you to control what the students look at on the board • The notes feature lets you add keywords or points
Using the web • you can use a website interactively • you can take a photo of the website and annotate it
