Why use a data projector?
These are some of the attractions of the data
projector as a tool in teaching Literacy:
- Work can be word processed on a laptop computer
so that the class can share the text together.
- Text can be changed and different effects are
immediately obvious to the class.
- The highlighting tool in MS Word allows whole
class teaching of vocabulary and punctuation.
- A piece of narrative or poetry can be examined
in detail or considered as a collection of words and phrases.
- Pupils enjoy seeing their ideas for editing text
on the screen.
- Pupils have the opportunity to experiment with
vocabulary, fonts and layout in both prose and poetry.
- Discussion is encouraged when redrafting text.
Having identified these potential
benefits, I wished to explore the advantages of the large display in
my teaching with texts. Additionally, I hoped the use of ICT in Literacy
teaching would have appeal for boys and raise their interest in creative
writing.
