James Ratcliffe, a Design and Technology Teacher at Milton Abbey School in Dorset, started making PSHE and Tutor Time PowerPoint presentations while working at 'Rossmore Community College'.

The shared presentations are free for download, modification, sharing and use in teaching.  They are designed to be projected using a digital projector on to a whiteboard, wall or anywhere where the whole class can see.

The presentations are not designed to simply 'show' the class. Practitioners should be able to engage not just the visual learners, but the kinaesthetic and auditory learners too.  It is important, as with all presentations produced by others, that users become familiar with the presentation before they present it and prompt the learners where appropriate, stimulating their thoughts, giving them emotional connections and reactions. Try to get the learners involved, getting them to read text boxes in the presentations etc...

James plans to develop notes for each presentation with objectives and tips for classroom use. 

Currently all PowerPoints are made using Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 using Windows XP.  The presentations may vary with your computers set-up.

Some excellent resources for Family Learning Practitioners and/or those involved in Initial Teacher Training.
