According to John Dabell, “This is a visualiser with a clever head, neck and base that seamlessly joins teaching, learning and assessment together and a very affordable bit of kit that can be used flexibly across a range of tasks from shared reading to CPD.

You can use it for ‘How to…’ demonstrations so children can clearly see the steps involved in a process and is particularly good for close-up or microscopic work.

The recording feature means that teaching isn’t lost and so allows you to replay the action as many times as you like so children can repeat and go back to learn and re-learn.

This makes the HUE HD Pro the ideal tool for spaced learning and revisiting knowledge and building memory for improved recall. It also makes you a more efficient teaching machine and that’s good for your well-being.

The HUE HD Pro is a delightful device to use that is so intuitive and could easily be integrated into whatever you are doing. Its reach extends as a tool for giving best practice professional demonstrations to colleagues as part of staff training or it could be used for recording your own teaching and sharing with mentors and coaches.”
