 Easy
to use resource libraries
You can find the resources that you need in the very
accessible picture and word banks. You can even add to these
resources by copying your own files into the resource bank
folders.
Wide range of teaching resources
Easiteach Starter is a powerful cross-curricula whole-class
teaching tool which is supplied with a wide range of
teaching resources. The graphics can all be moved, rotated
and even animated on the whiteboard and they include items
such as weather symbols, electronic symbols, logic symbols,
maps and symbols, biological images, musical instruments,
animals and insects, plants, historical characters and
photographs. |

Seamless integration
Easiteach enables material to be used on both the
interactive whiteboard (in Easiteach) and on pupils' desktop
machines (in Textease). This seamless integration between
desktop and whiteboard creates many exciting possibilities
for the whole class to work on files on the whiteboard,
which have been generated by a pupil at their desktop. |

Straightforward page navigation
Easiteach Starter enables you to move in a step-by-step way
through a lesson or to get to a blank page quickly. You can
even step forwards and back again through a section of your
teaching to review and refresh understanding. Many teachers
have identified being able to return to previous learning in
a visual way as a huge benefit.

Powerful on-screen manipulation
Easiteach Starter enables you to move objects - including
text and video - around on the screen. You can rotate them,
hide and reveal them, change their colours, animate and even
annotate them. You can also group objects, so that they move
together, or lock them so that they cannot be moved
accidentally during a lesson. |
|
Helpful authoring facilities
When you're preparing activities to use with the class,
Easiteach Starter gives you even more options. For example,
you can copy and paste objects, group them together so that
they move as one, or format and arrange texts and graphics. |
Include
spreadsheets and databases
A major benefit of Easiteach Starter is that it includes
spreadsheet and database functions. You can generate spreadsheets or
databases in front of the class and then ask pupils to add their own
data. You can then generate graphs based on the collected data.
Easiteach Starter can combine databases, spreadsheets, video files,
animations, logo-driven turtles and hyperlinks, all within a single
page. |
Drive, annotate and grab screens from other applications
By using the 'glass mode' you can annotate other
applications and grab screen views into Easiteach for
training purposes. Glass mode will be available as a free
upgrade. |

Page Storyboard view
You can even look at your activity as a whole and decide
whether the order of what you plan to do is right. You can
move pages around or even duplicate them in a page
storyboard window. |
