How the visualiser was used? The visualiser was used to look at artefacts from 1945 onwards by the children in my class. This lesson was like a ‘show and tell’ session. The children discussed the artefacts and had to place the objects on a timeline. We continued the lesson by looking at a diary extract from a child’s grandfather.

The benefits of the Visualiser to teaching & learning: • Time-saving. E.g. Literacy extracts don’t have to be written up on Powerpoint, but the entire text can be shown. • Able to demonstrate intricate detail. • Able to demonstrate children’s work on the day, in the lesson it was written. • Replaces the photocopier • Able to annotate work infront of the children. • Simple to use and compact. • Demonstrate how to layout the work properly.
