Ohio Teacher Brings Teaching, Learning to Life With the Addition of a Visual Presenter
Non-English speaking students have also benefited from the ELMO presenter. "Rather than trying to learn how various words are spelled by listening to me and writing them down, these students can actually see the words spelled out on the screen," says Mercer.
Several students have also used the presenter to display images related to their speech topics. This eliminates the need to have pictures and other materials passed around the room, which distracts students while the speech is being presented. According to Mercer, "The presenter is very useful in clarifying verbal lessons with visual images and enhancing the written word."
Currently, only students selected by Mercer are allowed to use the ELMO presenter at Greeneview High School. "It's the only one we have, so we want to be careful," she says. In the future, however, more students will be allowed to use it to make presentations to the class. According to Mercer, "These students will benefit from using the presenter either for their own speeches or to learn more from other students' presentations."
