Easiteach Tools

Easiteach is a flexible whole-class teaching tool and offers a set of generic tools at the core of each of the subject specific teaching tools. It is powerful and flexible software that allows you to manipulate objects in use and edit mode. You can create resources that incorporate text, clipart, animations, videos, flash files, sound, hyperlinks, databases and spreadsheets. It includes all the essential tools that you need to create interactive lessons for use throughout the curriculum e.g. draw, edit text, change colour, enlarge, rotate, cut, copy, paste, animate plus a multimedia bank.

Subject-specific Tools

The subject-specific tools are inspired by teachers and teaching experts and are ideal for creating exciting and engaging lessons. These tools are easy to use, flexible software equivalents of familiar teaching tools that you already use in the classroom, for example place-value cards for Maths, sentence builder cards for Literacy, map building tools for Geography and stopwatch and timer tools for Science.
