Welcome to Gecko Interactive
To date we have produced three interactive programs in the
'Investigating' series -
Investigating Water, Investigating Spiders and
Investigating Mangroves. They have been designed primarily for children and teachers for use in the classroom and at home - ideal for projects, curriculum lessons, thematic units, extension and enrichment activities. The CD's will, however, appeal to anyone wishing to learn more about our environment.
Each of these nature topics took more than a year to produce so as to be able to capture photographs of the subjects and their life cycles during the different seasons.
Interactive whiteboard users will also find these as invaluable aids in the presentation of their lessons. We have also produced a series of interactive whiteboard lesson modules and new ones will be posted as soon as they become available.
With each Interactive CD (Investigating Series) purchase you also get:
- Access to our web page with relevant internet links to chosen sites.
- Access to our printable activity sheets for use in the classroom.
- Two pages of creative teaching ideas.
- A password is supplied with each CD to allow you to access the above resources.
Bruce Greig, the producer and publisher of these programs, is a qualified teacher with many years of experience both in and out of the classroom. Fifteen years as an Environmental Teacher (in the field) has given him a deep knowledge and understanding of the fauna and flora and, equally important, the level at which to interact with children! He has also had two booklets,
A Water Study and
Forest Fun -
A Teacher's Handbook, published.
