OHP transparencies

[witch]

We have two teachers who insist on using OHPs (despite every room having an interactive whiteboard).

Said OHPs are about to fail their PAT tests (*ahem*) and I am looking for a way to deal with the transparencies - has anyone tried backing them with paper and scanning them? Or can anyone else suggest a way of getting the info on them onto a computer without having to to create it all again?

 

I can see large amounts of grief coming my way if I cannot think of a solution

Worth it though, to drag the school kicking and screaming into the 21st century

I've had good results scanning them before now - if you use a flatbed scanner, you get a white background anyway, so don't need to back it with paper.

have you looked at visualisers before? genee do a couple with backlights for this purpose
