Jonny Clark, tutor2u's Chief PowerPoint Guru (correction - only PowerPoint Guru), has been hard at work creating some new teaching resources which we think you'll love. They might also be wanted by every other department, but you could just keep it a secret weapon for Team Business.tutor2u's new Super Teacher Utility Belt comprises four easy-to-use and quick PowerPoint utilities to help make their lessons more interactive.The four utilities are:Random Name Generator: allows you to randomly pick a name from your classScoreboard: a simple scoreboard to add up scores for any team-based exercise in your classEggTimer: uses a Powerpoint slide as an egg-timer for any activity in class - set it for different durationsCountdown Clock: gives a simple on-screen message about how long there is left until a significant event (e.g. deadline for assignment or exam date) The Super Teacher Utility Belt (1) can be ordered directly from our online store here and is just £30 for a whole-school network licence.
