Inspired by Anthony Evans’ post I have been inspired to attempt teaching a short unit of work using Google Sketchup to my Key Stage 4 group of mixed ASD and GLD learners. I have adapted Anthony’s unit plan and the first lesson went down very well. The group are fairly difficult to engage, yet were completely [...]

At risk of sounding like a 2Simple fanboy, I picked up a copy of 2Create a Superstory at BETT in January. It’s great! Egged on by this review, I used it with a group of KS3 ASD learners, who really enjoyed creating their stories. The software is powerful yet beautifully simple to use. Their digital stories [...]
HelpKidzLearn is an online resource with some really good simple activities for younger SEN and SLD learners created by Inclusive Technology. It’s a great source of starter activities for my ICT lessons, and is well worth a look.

I picked up a trial copy of 2Simple Do it Yourself at BETT – and must say that I have been very impressed. Like all 2Simple software the interface is simple and intuitive. It allows children to create their own games and activities and has lots of scope to be intergrated into our curriculum.
We’ve been [...]

“The Feelings Game“ is a simple game teaching emotions. I works really well on an IWB. This would fit in really nicely with a lot of the work we do with our ASD learners.
I found it on the excellent Woodlands Junior School website, which has a page of useful SEN links.

I recently started studying for an MA in ICT & Education at Leeds University via distance learning. I have been asked by my tutor to keep a journal of my experiences – and it made sense to me to intergrate it with my existing blog.
I attend weekly sessions that take place online. The current module [...]
I am currently carrying out a class-based action research project on using blogging with SEN students as part of the Tansformation Teachers Programme run by the Haringey CLC.
I’ve focused on a single learner, D, who suffers from Smith Magenis Syndrome. He is a relatively bright KS3 boy with some autistic tendencies. He has many obsessions - and often has [...]
I created the the attached animations with a GLD KS3 class. The class are mixed ability – and contain both verbal and non-verbal children. They all created animations. We used 2animate and the simple drawing tools to create the animations. We then used Windows Movie Maker to add the sounds. It was fun and the children [...]
