From a page of notes to the board

Start from any topic
Science, history, geography, grammar: paste your notes or take a photo of the page, and VisualNote draws the sheet.

Pick and change the activities
Each activity opens in a popup: change the items, the pairs or the word, add another one, or ask Noty.

Bring pupils to the board
Every activity works with a tap or a finger on the board, so a pupil can come up and answer.
Eleven kinds of slide, all made for the front of the room
Every slide tells the class what to do in big letters, keeps its own time, and works with a tap on the board.

Put in order
The class calls out the order, you tap it in, then the right order appears.

Match the pairs
Join each item on the left to one on the right, then check the pairs.

Hidden word
A clue and a word hidden letter by letter, uncovered one tile at a time.

True or false, stand up
Stand for true, stay seated for false. The whole class answers at once.
Change any slide yourself, or ask Noty
Every slide opens in a popup you can edit: the text, the minutes, the part of the sheet, your own notes. Or tell Noty, the assistant beside the slides, what you want in plain words, and undo it with one tap if you do not like it.
Add a hidden word about oxygen before the talk slide

Built for a real lesson, not a slideshow
A pen on every slide
Write and draw over the slide with your finger. The marks go when you move on.
Draw a number
Picks a number from the class list at random, so the same hands are not always up.
Timers that ring softly
Each slide has its minutes. You can always move on sooner.
Rehearse before class
Run the lesson on your own screen with every button explained. Nothing is saved.
Share it with pupils
One link for the class: pupils save the lesson as a read only copy in their own account and go over it at home.
Try three lessons a month for free
The visual of a note is drawn once. The lesson on top of it is ready in about a minute, and you can open it as often as you like.

Questions teachers ask
Which activities are there?
Put in order, match the pairs, hidden word, true or false (stand up or stay seated), talk about it with sentence starters, a calm minute and an exit question, beside the sheet and the quiz cards.
Can pupils come to the board?
Yes. Everything works with a tap or a finger on the interactive whiteboard or smartboard, so a pupil can come up, put the steps in order or join a pair.
How long does each activity take?
You set the minutes of each slide, from 1 to 10. The timer rings softly at the end and you can always move on sooner.
Can I change the activities?
Yes. Change the items, the pairs or the hidden word in the slide's popup, add a new activity anywhere, or ask Noty to write one.
Do they work for every subject?
They follow the sheet of your note, so they work for anything you can put in a note: science, history, geography, languages, grammar.
