OUR PROJECT
About us
The Westgate School is Hampshire's first All Through School, based in Winchester.
Who is this for?
This is for our Upper School, Key Stages 3 & 4
Why would visualisers make a difference in the classroom?
A visualiser is essentially a camera which hooks up to the classroom PC and projector and can stream anything to our whiteboard screens.
Why do we want it?
Visualisers have been used to great effect in our Lower School (EYFS, & Key Stages 1 & 2) since its inception in 2014. We have seen enormous potential in this and now wish to roll out across our Upper School classes. Visualisers enable us to share work in a live environment by allowing teachers to:
-
project all kinds of text easily across all subjects - a page of an essay, a picture from a book
-
zoom in to key paragraphs, sentences and words from a text.
-
share 'live' student written work in the classroom - looking at writing together and talking about ways to improve it.
-
celebrate and highlight students' achievements in the lesson by sharing their work with the whole class.
-
demonstrate practical sessions within music - allowing all students to clearly see hands on a keyboard
-
engage students in the classroom
-
capture and record learning, allowing students to have access to it in their independent learning time
-
reduce the amount of photocopying!
