Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Replace the twenty-four placeholders with real names before the first use — the labels Student 1 to Student 24 exist to be overwritten

  • The layout is two columns of twelve, so a class larger than twenty-four needs the columns extended or a second copy of the slide

  • Because it is a single slide, it can be left open as the first thing on the board each morning rather than opened and closed for each use

  • Names appear in the order they are typed, so entering them alphabetically or by table group decides how fast a child finds their own on the board

Skills covered

  • Daily attendance routine — the teacher replaces twenty-four placeholders with the class list and runs the register from the board under the question "Are You In School Today?".

  • Interactive whiteboard setup — the file is one editable slide, so the name list is maintained in place instead of being reprinted each term.

  • Class-list management — names sit in two columns of twelve, and the order they are entered sets how the board reads to the class.
