Inclusive Technology 

Spoken Content: iPads

If you have some text that you would like your class to read and it might be difficult for your students you can turn on 'spoken content' in the accessibility setting.  

Setting/Accessibility/ Spoken Content

Activating Spoken Content

To activate you have to double tap and select the area you want read. Then press speak. 

Spoken Content: Macs

If you would like to switch on the spoken content option on your laptops please go to:

System settings/Accessibility/Spoken Content/ Selection

Speech to text

When you have a child that writing or typing is stifling their ability to create you can turn on the speech to text function. 

Speech to text is turned off for us as a department currently. If you think it will be useful please contact ITsupport to activate the function.

You can find the ability to switch on this function in General: Settings: Keyboard: Enable dictation.

Seesaw

To use in Seesaw add a text box and then click on the mircophone on the keyboard.

Widget Online

Liz Tranter uses this great website called Widgit Online. It is a website that creates symbols for schedules, vocabulary sheets and lots more. You can find more information here. 

Liz has added all grades to the site and will send out login details. Currently your login is for the grade and only one person can use it at one time. Liz has trained Grade 2 TA's already to use it so she is ready to give support if you need it!

Behaviour Support

Recently we have been introduced to this website: https://www.pbisworld.com/ . This gives us lots of great advice for the different behaviour needs of our students. Below is a sample of what the site looks like.
