Ideas for using Visualisers

Display text/images on a large screen:
 

• Share text with the whole class such as a reading book or particular article
• Share children's work during a lesson for feedback.
• Use in Geography to share detailed maps.
• Share pictures/certificates/medals in assembly.
• Use to share words/music to a song.
• Use in plenary sessions to demonstrate quality work that pupils have done and explore exactly what it is that makes that piece of work excellent (raises pupil expectations of what they can achieve).

Use zoom function to enable small objects to become viewable by a large group:

• E.g. making mini-beasts visible beyond the naked eye,
  Children's art work being displayed full screen
  Focus in on tiny components, pollen grains, fabric, textures, text.
  Use in Chemistry to view and explain cell structure models or look at crystals.
  Environmental Science, looking at natural objects, pond creatures, flowers
  Use in history to explore artifacts in great detail.
   

Live demonstrations of practical subjects:

• Soldering in DT
• Condensation in science
• Paint mixing in Art.
• Use as a web cam in assembly to enable drama to be visible by all or to capture on video.

Digital capture of still images:

• Recording annotations, keeping for student e-portfolio.
• To capture text for use in literacy – quicker and easier than scanning or photocopying,
• Capture children's work for assessment purposes
• Take time delayed photographs such as the decomposition of a flower.

Digital capture of video - recording processes:

• Capture a demonstration of a process in science for repeating or using as part of a plenary,
• Capture a technical procedure being demonstrated in technology - Video can be saved to PC or network for use in future lessons.

Changing the image:

• The positive/negative feature could be used to turn photo negatives into positive images or view positive images or 3d objects as negatives.
• To turn a text from black on white to white on black making it easier to read by some children.
• Use in design to look at complementary colors.
   

Use the freeze option:

• To Play Kim's game by removing an object for observational skills.
• Put key words under and remove one. What's missing?
• Put a series of numbers under then remove 1 i.e. Prime numbers, odd numbers.
• Put a piece of text under then cover up key words. What's the missing word?
  (You can keep image on screen while you prepare the next object for viewing.)
