Text Organisation - enabling sequencing and exploration of syntax. PowerPoint - exploiting the creative potential of this often overused or misused tool.. Word - Performing the equivalent of conjuring tricks in the classroom. You can animate text, map it, organise it, hide it or scramble it.. Image, moving image and Flash - discovering the impact and potential of well chose still images or video clips. Flash programs that have specific applications with words can add to the wonder and magic of English.The activities outlined in this book can be undertaken with any of the popular brands of interactive white-board and are relevant with all age groups, across all educational borders.
