After hearing about the problems some colleagues have been facing when running the activities they have downloaded from my web site (need admin rights), I decided to move away from the open framework program I was using and write something new. All of my new ‘slideshow’ activities will be published in a new format which will make them accessible to pretty much everyone.

The new format has specific sections for switch users at cause and effect level with both auditory and visual prompts. A touch screen section puts large targets around the screen which students will need to find and touch. Mouse or other pointing device users get a section with a huge mouse pointer and targets that change colour when the mouse pointer is over them. Finally eye gaze users get their own section with large targets and a cross hair cursor to help them pin point the targets.

It will take some time to replace some of the older activities on the web site, there are over one hundred but do keep coming back to see the new ones we’ve added.

You can use the new format activities online here: MUSICAL SLIDESHOWS ONLINE
or download the full screen offline versions here: MUSICAL SLIDESHOWS DOWNLOAD

We hope you and your students / children enjoy using them.
