Description of resources


yTeach offers thousands of interactive resources which can be used in either teacher mode or student mode. "Class Activities" are designed to be used by students at their computer - either as homework or in class. "Whiteboard Presentations" are specially prepared for you to use in the classroom.

Class activities consist of a number of complimentery elements, such as animations, text descriptions, simulations and exercises. Whiteboard presentation lessons are streamlined to concentrate on just one element at a time. Normally, each student sequence has several equivalents available for use with or without an interactive whiteboard; how you use them is for you to choose.

A single screen from Class activities is called an 'activity'. Screens from Whiteboard Presentation lessons have different names depending on the type of the resource included. For example:

- animation (a screen containing an animation),
- exercise (a screen containing an exercise),
- illustration (a screen containing an illustration),
- slide how (a screen containing a slideshow),
- simulation (a screen containing a simulation),
- game (a screen containing an interesting game),
- other (a screen containing other useful description). How to use Class Activities:

Class Activities are ready-to-use student lessons which have been primarily designed for self-study. Each lesson begins with a detailed table of contents and concludes with a report page (where the student's progress is displayed).

How to use Whiteboard Presentations:

Whiteboard Presentations are ready-made sequences for you to use in the classroom with a projector or interactive whiteboard. They are based upon the corresponding student Class Activities, but are displayed without descriptive text which allows you to manage the explanations. A specially designed 'teacher panel' provides handy tools (eg. markers, pens, masking etc) and lets you pre-select only the screens you wish to use that day.
