POWERPACK FLASHCARDS & WORKBOOKS
If you like using computers as an aid to teaching ESL but are frustrated
by the lack of suitable software, then PowerPack may be the answer for you.
Developed by a busy classroom teacher, PowerPack is a series of computerized flashcards and workbooks that are simplicity itself to use and geared especially for Stage One and Two learners..
The files work from inside Microsoft's Office Suite using the PowerPoint program which many schools already have on their networks. If yours doesn't, then PowerPack can be used on its own using the PowerPoint Viewer, which is freely available. Using the PowerPack Flashcards and Worksheets couldn't be simpler. By simply pressing the spacebar on the keyboard, the student or teacher can advance to the next picture or work page and write down the answers in his or her copy book. No complicated keyboard skills are required.
