Resources for teachers

I've been using the computer as a tool to enhance my teaching of Science for many years.

I began by making worksheets, then clour transparencies for use with OHPs, and then moved on to animated diagrams (GIFanims).

With the advent of the data projector, I began producing lessons Powerpoint, but found this too lacking in interactivity.

So then I learned to create games in Shockwave Flash - using a program called KoolMoves. I found that the interactivity that Flash brings (coupled with an interactive white-board) brought lessons back to life, making them much more fun. Even the least motivated students came to life! I've also used Flash to make diagrams and other presentations more interactive.
