Reaching the board

Teachers in SSPs are in a demanding job where extra support for students is a daily need. To enable equitable access to whiteboard media, support, direction and prompted movement is neccessary. Helpers have to be physically able and competent practitioners.

Eyes on Task

Classes are engaged by exciting media.

Own Pace

Students can use individual PC consoles to orient themselves to tasks with fewer distractions when given the benefit of their own equipment. Something as simple as individual headphones can make the difference between unfocused behaviour and taking a greater interest in curriculum based skills.

Using your swordhand !

Students can gain a better sense of shadow management in a projected media environment when their shoulder is kept out of play. After some prompting and guidance students often gain skills to manage their shadow.

Nic at the Whiteboard

Nic enjoyed using the mobile whiteboard. He solved the problem of shadows cast by a low tabletop projector after prompting. Nic held the stylus well and was engaged with the workspace.

Music Rocks !

Students enjoy being Tech Savy. Age appropriate leisure activities increase the positive rewards available to students in class.
