Using phone, fax, email and a web site, VTAide supports teachers with their teaching function. VTAide will do the following and help solve some of your problems:

Services

• Create presentations that incorporate multimedia and interactive features for classroom teaching
  
  Information is available but scattered among multiple sources and in different file formats. VTAide can help you combine relevant resources in CD-ROMs and the World Wide Web into ONE unified animated PowerPoint presentation for use in the classroom.
  
  These classroom presentations can be used later as reviews. Interactive quizzes (patterned after popular gameshows) can be added to assess the students' learning.
  
  

Search Convenience search engines, directories & reference tools in ONE location .............. find pictures, sounds & information

• Research topics of your choice and provide links to relevant web sites
  
  There is no magic involved in searching the World Wide Web but there certainly are difficulties in finding what you need. No single search engine covers the entire Web. Some claim to have indexed more than 3 billion web pages but the relevance of what will be thrown up in any given search can be a source of frustration.
  
  VTAide offers expertise in searching for good and relevant sources of information that you need to support interdisciplinary project work (IPW).
  
  
  
• Create web pages to showcase your students' works
  
  Would you like your students to read more?
  
  VTAide can help convert your students' works into web pages with music, special effects and pictures. These web pages then can be stored in computers available in your school's open access areas for ALL students to read and enjoy.
  
  Students whose compositions are showcased would be excited to show them to their schoolmates and parents. Other students would be motivated to work hard to have their compositions displayed on the computers.

“As teachers, you must question accepted techniques, and see if there is a better way of achieving your objectives. Ask yourself if what you are teaching now could be done more effectively to help students learn better.” Singapore PM Goh Chok Tong, speaking at the Teachers' Day Rally 2001
