Visualisers have been part of some classrooms for years and schools are constantly discovering just how much they can assist with teaching and learning. Whether it’s reducing lesson preparation or helping every child see clearly from their seat, the right visualiser makes a measurable difference.

They aren’t new, but today’s models are clearer, faster and easier to use than ever. And in an era where classrooms are more inclusive, adaptable and engaging, these benefits stand out.

Schools tell us they are using visualisers to:

• Share books, worksheets and pupils’ work without making dozens of photocopies.
• Model handwriting, drawing or science experiments in real time.
• Save preparation time by showing physical resources instead of recreating them digitally.
• Support SEND pupils and those with visual impairments by magnifying text or images.
• Capture and record lessons for revision or home learning.

How Do Visualisers Help with Everyday Teaching?

1. Making Shared Learning Simple

Instead of gathering pupils around a table or holding a book in the air, a visualiser lets teachers show pages, objects, or examples clearly on the classroom display. Every pupil gets the same clear view, making explanations smoother, faster and fair to every student.

2. Saving Time on Lesson Preparation

Teachers often spend hours creating digital versions of worksheets or resources for the front of the class. With a visualiser, they simply place the page under the camera. No scanning, no reformatting. This gives teachers more time to focus on planning great learning experiences.

3. Supporting Inclusion and Differentiation

By adjusting zoom, brightness and focus, teachers can make content clearer for pupils who need larger text, enhanced visuals or extra explanation. Visualisers also allow for scaffolding: E.G. showing part of a problem at a time, or breaking down a long paragraph into chunks.

What Should Schools Look for in a Visualiser?

Not all visualisers offer the same classroom experience. Some key features that make a difference include:

• Plug and play connectivity, with minimal setup
• High-resolution cameras, ensuring clear image quality on large screens
• Flexible arms or adjustable lenses, to show workbooks, experiments or 3D objects
• Recording and snapshot features, supporting lesson capture and flipped learning
• Built-in lights, for clear images in all conditions
