Supercharging existing resources

For teachers, one of the most daunting aspects of adopting new technology is the fear of losing years of hard work invested in existing resources. However, upgrading your classroom tools doesn’t mean starting over. Educational software ensures that your existing materials are not only preserved but also enhanced.

Revitalising Legacy Resources

Modern platforms like Lumio and MyViewBoard allow you to bring your older resources into the digital age. Imagine taking a standard PowerPoint presentation and transforming it into a dynamic lesson by adding interactive polls, multimedia content, and collaborative tools. SMART Notebook and Promethean ActivInspire files can similarly be updated, ensuring continuity without compromising on innovation.

These platforms also allow teachers to make their lessons more engaging. For instance, static worksheets can be converted into interactive activities where pupils can drag and drop answers, annotate directly on the screen, or work collaboratively in real time.

Cross-Compatibility: A Seamless Transition

The thought of incompatibility often holds schools back from upgrading technology. Educational software now prioritises cross-compatibility, ensuring that older resources work seamlessly on new platforms. This means you can transition to new tools without losing access to the content you’ve spent years developing.

For example, a school moving from Promethean to a newer platform can still use its ActivInspire files, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition for teachers and pupils alike. This approach not only saves time but also reduces the anxiety associated with change.

Discovering New Possibilities

Upgrading isn’t just about keeping what you have; it’s about exploring new opportunities. Platforms like Lumio offer features that go beyond traditional teaching methods. Teachers can embed quizzes, host live Q&A sessions, and create gamified activities that keep pupils engaged and motivated.

Imagine a geography lesson where pupils collaborate on an interactive map, or a history class where they explore timelines through clickable multimedia. These tools don’t just enhance learning; they transform it.
