Alasdair Bauld (Dornoch Academy) and Jean Michel Oblette (Farr High School) showed some ways in which having a digital projector and, if possible, an interactive whiteboard can add that ‘wow’ factor to your ML lessons.

Here is Alasdair’s presentation.  Although the links won’t work, it will give you an idea of what you can do.

Start small by digitising your pictures to replace flashcards.  Then try digitising your audio cassettes or CDs, by coverting them into MP3 files which can be stored on your school’s server and played by pupils on individual PCs with headphones or on your teacher PC equipped with good speakers.  Then you can progress to existing .mpg video clips (contact Alasdair if you want home made video clips to match the Camarades 3 course or Higher and Int 2 HSDU French and German courses), or even create your own .mpg files.

 Jean Michel then quickly took us through some easily accessible, free websites.  If you haven’t come across it before, try going to:
