the
needs
of
the
lesson.
Do I
need
to
use
the
Avatar
characters?No
they
are
very
helpful
in
generating
class
discussion
and
the
students
like
them
but
like
all
our
resources
they
are
for
you
to
review
and
then
use
according
to
your
professional
judgement.
Why
do
you
use
PowerPoint
for
the
presentations?PowerPoint
is a
familiar
and
very
flexible
presentation
format
that
is
standard
throughout
the
world.
Teachers
can
easily
adapt
them
to
suit
the
needs
of
individual
students
and
classes.
We
provide
a
free
using

teaching
booklet
and

include?Each

a
broad
area
of
the

sized
units.

are
lively
in
both
their
language
and
bold
graphics

visual
learning
and

the
teacher

information,
detail,
questions
and
answers.
Follow
this
up

and
test
presentations
to
reinforce
learning
and
assess
progress.
How
do I
use
these
products
in
the
classroom?You
will
need
to
install
the
product
onto
a

for
example
a
laptop
linked

as a
monitor.

I
change
the

my
students?Yes
you
can
change
the
text,
what
the
VT

say
and

few;
a
basic
knowledge
of
how
to
add
text,
perhaps
an
extra

to
PowerPoint
and
how
to
save
your

is
all
you
need.
We

classroom
or
library

How
do
students
react
to
the
presentations?
Students
respond
extremely
well.
They
like
the
input
of
the
VT
characters
and
the
presentations
improve
attention
spans.
The
presentations
are
designed
specifically
to
encourage
visual
and
aural
learning
while

active
class
discussion
.
Less
able
students
benefit
particularly
but
improvements
in
learning
can
be
seen
across
the
ability
range.
What
benefits
will
I
gain
from
using
the
Lesson
Box presentations?
The
presentations
help
teachers
teach.
They
give
you
a
powerful
visual
vehicle
when
explaining
an
aspect
of
your
subject.
They
include
animation
text
and
graphics
to
present
the
key
content.
They
help
you
structure
your
lesson
into
appropriate
activities.
Powerful

and
opportunities
for
discussion
are
two
core
elements
of
all
Lesson
Box
products. They

reinforce
learning
and
help
you
assess
student
progress
by
use
of
starter
and
plenary
tasks,
key

tests
and
revision
presentations.The
network
/
learning
platform
version
supplied
with
all

content
of
the

on

you
have
a

disk
that
shows
you
how
the
key
features
of

operate
as
well
as
part
presentations
for
each
subject
in
our
range.
Just
fill
out
the

on
our
samples
page.
Do
you
have
customer

pride
ourselves
on
our
friendly
customer
support
to
help
you
not
just
with
the
product
but
also
helping
you
with
practical
ideas
for

the
product
in
the
classroom.In
addition
each
product
now
comes
with
flash
tutorials
to
help
you
make
the
most
of
your
teaching
with
ORCA
presentations.
Can
I
print
out
the
slides
as
handouts?Yes
one
of
the
benefits
of
using
a
PowerPoint
basis
for
our
presentations
is
that
every
element
can
be
printed
form
a
test
or
single
slide
through
to a
full
presentation
with
all
its
images.
Can
my
students
use
the
products
at
home?Your
licence
is
for
use
in
your
school
only.
Some
elements
can
be
added
to a
vle
if
password
protected.
We
have
special
arrangements
for
PRU's
so
that
children
that
cannot
attend
school
can
use
our
presentations
at
home.
In
special
circumstances
we
are
happy
to
consider
extending
this
to a
student
at a
main
stream
school.
Please
phone
and
ask:
we
are
educators
and
we
want
to
help
your
students
learn.
Technical
Can
I
install
onto
a
school
network?Yes
the
licence
allows
this
as
long
as
the
network
or
learning
platform is
confined
to
the
licensed
school
premises.
We
will
need
written
confirmation
of
protection
measures
if
the
content
can
be
accessed
beyond
the
school.
You
should
consider
that
the
main
presentations
are designed
and
licenced
as a
teaching
tool
in
the
classroom
but
you
are
also
supplied
with
a
special
version
in
PowerPoint
show
format
designed
and
licensed
for
your
network
or
learning
platform. Technically
installation
depends
on
the
system
but
the
disk
has
an msi
installer
to
help
simplify
this
process.
It
can
be
found
by
right
clicking
on
your
cd/dvd
drive
in
explorer
or
my computer
and
then
choosing
explore.
Can
I
Install
on a
Virtual
Learning
Environment?Yes
you
can,
under
the
licence,
install
the
Network
versions
that
come
with
every
product.
It
is a
simple
perfect
resource
for
all
learning
platforms
as
it
uses
PowerPoint
without
extra
macros
or
add
ons. The vle
must
only
be
accessible
in
your
school
or
to
your
students
via
password.
We
will
supply
a
simple
form
for
you
to
complete
to
allow
this. The
Network
/
VLE
elements
in
Lesson
Box are
both
designed
and
licenced
for
easy
use
on a vle
learning
platform. The
VT
Teacher presentations
are
not
appropriate
for
a vle.
They
are
designed
and
licensed as a
teacher
resource
and
have
large
file
sizes
and
extra
files
that
are
installed
to
allow
the
talking
characters
to
operate.
What
operating
system
can
be
used?All
MS
operating
systems
are
compatible
to
our
products
including
Windows
7.
They will
operate
on
Mac
if
you
use
a PC
adaptation
like bootcamp
or
Microsoft
Office
for
Mac.
Can
I
use
PowerPoint
2010?
Yes
we
have
made
changes
to
allow
our
products
to
operate
on
PowerPoint
2010
although
you
may
have
to
change
a
macro
security
setting.
Do
I
need
to
change
my
macro
settings?Yes
when
you
first
open
the
presentation
you
may
be
asked
if
you
trust
macros
form
ORCA
Education
and
Microsoft,
you
should
say
yes
and
also
set
the
security
setting
at
medium
or
low
depending
on
how
your
computer
is
set
up.
We
are
licenced
distributors
and
of
Microsoft
Agent
technology
and
this
requires
macros
by
ourselves
and
Microsoft
to
enable
the
talking
animated
characters
and
other
additional
features
to
operate.
You
have
the
assurance
that
our
macros
are
digitally
signed
before
dispatch
and
you
can
phone
to
find
out
the
annual
up to
date
status
of
this
digital
signature.
How
do I
hear
and
see
the
characters?At
the
end
of
installation
seven
small
Microsoft
files
are
installed
these
allow
script
written
for
the
VT
character
to
be
turned
into
actions,
a
speech
bubble
and
spoken
words.
When
you
view
the
slideshow
if
there
is
the
option
of
the
input
of a
Vt
character
you
will
see
a
icon
in
the
bar
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide,
click
on
this
and
the
character
will
appear.
Our
tutorial
shows
you
how
to
suspend
hide
or
resume
the
script.
For
help
if
the
character
does
not
appear
or
speak
see
our
technical
page
and
the
flash
tutorials
supplied
with
the
product.
How
do I
install
the
product?Just
put
the
disk
in
your
drive
and
it
will
normally
self
install.
This
also
allows
you
to
select
the
presentations
you
want
installed
at
any
time
on
your
computer.
At
the
end
of
the
installation,
as
the
read
me
file
opens,
seven
small
VT
files
will
install,
these
Microsoft
files
are
being
installed
in
folders
which
are
part
of
the
Windows
operating
system,
some
of
which
come
pre
installed
on
your
computer
but
are
just
being
added
in
case
your
computer
has
been
changed.
You
should
let
these
install
or
the
animated
characters
will
not
operate.
For
more
details
see
our
technical
section
and
the
flash
tutorials
supplied
with
the
product.
Can
I
save
my
own
class
adapted
version?
Yes
your
licence
allows
this
and
we
would
encourage
you
to
review
each
presentation
in
advance
to
decide
how
you
would
use
the
presentation
with
particular
classes.
Our
Using
PowerPoint
in
supplied
product
booklet
provides
help.
How
do I
change
the
Avatar
characters'
script?The
script
is
deliberately
placed
on
the
notes
page
so
you
can
simply
type
in
changes
to
what
the
character
says.
Fine
tuning
of
pronunciation
is
very
easy
as
are
changes
to
what
the
character
does.
This
element
in
itself
is a
powerful
teaching
tool.
Our
free
booklet
and
supplied flash
tutorials explain
how
to
do
this.
How
do I
change
the
text?
Just
choose
normal
view
and
then
type
into
the
text
boxes.
When
finished
go
to
file
/
save
as
and
choose
a
location
and
name
for
your
saved
version.
Your
licence
allows
you
to
do
this
but
just
check
the
licence
details
for
restrictions
on
how
the
original
product
and
saved
versions
can
be
used.
Can
I
change
pictures
and
video?Yes
you
can
change
some
pictures
or
add
a
picture
of
your
own
and
then
save
the
presentation
with
a
new
name.
You
can
also
add
video
that
you
have
on
your
computer.
Video
files
are
big
so
they
are
not
embedded
into
PowerPoint
so
you
will need
to
have
a
folder
where
you
keep
your
video
files
so
that
PowerPoint
can
find
them.
Our
free
booklet
and
flash
tutorial
Using
PowerPoint
in
Teaching
again
explains
how
to
do
this.
Can
I
change
or
add
sound
files?Yes
you
can
change
transition
sounds
and
embed
sound
files
of
up
to
1.5mb
into
our
presentations.
Be
aware
though
the
bigger
the
size
of
your
PowerPoint
the
slower
it
will
be
when
you
start
it
up
or
call
on
the
VT
character.
You
can
reduce
the
size
of
sound
files
if
you
do
not
mind
loosing
some
sound
quality.
Our
free
booklet
and
supplied flash
tutorials give more
guidance.
