“As a teacher I find the visualiser to be a tremendously useful tool” Chris Botha, Classteacher – Dame Tipping CE School

Mr. Chris Botha is an infant teacher at Dame Tipping CE Primary School. He heard of the AVerMedia Visualiser through ‘the London Borough of Havering Inspection and Advisory Service and thought he would try one out. He set up his visualiser so that it could either be used as a camera for live demonstrations, or with his interactive whiteboard, to take full advantage of the software capabilities provided by the visualiser software.

The visualiser has now become a permanent fixture in Mr. Botha’s classroom. He uses it everyday to teach lessons for Numeracy, Literacy, History, Design and Technology and Science. It’s used for instructing students on how to complete a worksheet. It is also used to display 3D objects for discussion (i.e., coins, artefacts, student work). It has even become useful for displaying science experiments for the entire classroom to see from their seats.

“As a teacher I find the visualiser to be a tremendously useful tool,” says Mr. Botha, “and its ability to easily interface with my PC is particularly attractive.”

When we asked Mr. Botha why he loved his visualiser he said, “The main advantages I have seen over similar technology are its ease of use, the accuracy of its auto settings and its ability to project a real camera image over an old OHP outline on to my interactive whiteboard.”
