is a free program to help you to plan and deliver your lessons
more efficiently. |

A Planning a lesson |
|
||
Step 1 | Give
the lesson a name eg. 10P Elec Circuits Monday period 3 |
||
Step 2 | Browse
your hard-disc for files and select which ones you want to use. Files can be your own, or from a CD or the web. The files can be PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Images and Videos. |
||
Step 3 | In
this way you build up a 'Play-List'
of the files you want to project in this lesson, in sequence. You can edit the sequence if you wish. |
||
Step 4 | Click
on the Save button. (You can store up to 1000 lessons.) |
B
Teaching the lesson In the lesson, just click on the big button, to play the next file in your play-list. It's as simple as that. It's a free download from here. Although originally intended for use with the Physics for You CD-ROM, you can use it in any subject, with any files: |

. . and then play it in the lesson. |
||
PowerPoint files | |||
Excel, Word, PDF, HTML files | |||
Images (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, etc) | |||
Videos (.avi, .mov, .mpg, etc). | |||

It's entirely free -- so give a copy to anyone you like -- to other members of the Science
Dept, or the Geography Dept, etc.
This version 2.0 has several improvements, including: (i) you can now save a Web-site URL so that you can easily call it up in your browser during the lesson and (ii) you can place each lesson in a 'Category' of your choice, in order to organise a series of lessons.
If you have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know at keith@123johnson.net
