Teachers can annotate on the images shown on the screen or the board, zoom in and out, get different views and angles and capture still shots with the help of the digital processing visualiser. The teachers found they could communicate the subject matter with greater impact and increased student participation with the digital processing visualiser. Teachers identified different ways of teaching using digital processing visualiser; demonstrations could be given to the entire class without them crowding round the subject, developing time for creating teaching resources was greatly reduced as there was less need to scan books and other resources. The digital processing visualiser is extremely good at visualising pupils how to use tools and techniques that would be difficult to present to a group, such as the use of a compass in a maths class or parts of an electronic circuit board. Digital processing visualiser is a really incredible presentation tool for showing and annotating on the students work to the remaining of the class and for live evaluating the students work. More and more schools, colleges and universities are becoming familiar with a digital processing visualiser and finding them a truly wonderful visual teaching aids to enhance lessons.
