Resource Review: Primary ICT Kit

Published by lwatson at 7:43 pm under Uncategorized




Teachers TV is a channel for teachers which is boardcasted on the internet, accessable for everyone. I just watched an interesting, 13 minute presentation on three new technologies which are being introuduced in the UK schools. I know that we have similar products in Australia but there are some which we don’t have and I haven’t seen before. The three focused on in this program were:

AverVision -  which is a visualiser to present any image, item and object to  a class of students and they are able to see very close up. It can be used for science, fine arts, math and English really any subject. It is useful and versatile, the size makes it portable and overall good value for money.

Activate – is a voting system that can be used in conjunction with a white board there is a similar product in Australia called a senitor. They allow instant feedback for teachers and fits in with curriculum assessment. Easy to use for all children.

Talking tins – are a recordable device used to record information very easy to use and inexpensive.

I suggest you log on to Teachers TV and take a tour around the website there are so many valuable resources available for teachers to use.
