A visualiser is an easy piece of kit which projects live action onto a whiteboard and can record it too. Maths teacher Cath Smithies demonstrates how she uses it in lesson to demonstrate, record and replay constructions. This saves Cath time since the demonstration can be used over and over, and it gives pupils extra help as they?re starting their work. The visualiser also allows pupils to demonstrate their knowledge to the class, meaning cath can easily assess a pupil?s progress. In the Deaf Resource Base, Communicator for the Deaf Stuart Heron is often called upon by mainstream teachers to give lessons at short notice. This can sometimes result in only one copy of a resource to be shared by everyone in the class. The visualiser means Stuart can project any resource onto the whiteboard so it?s easily accessible by every pupil. The visualiser also allows Stuart to keep his hands free ? vital for when he is signing for pupils.
