Recently a reader contacted me and asked if I had any resources for students with low vision. Ideas for how to encourage computer use and such. Here were my suggestions:
First, I'd suggest heading to http://oneswitch.org.uk - Barrie has some amazing resources for switch users, and the can be used by touch screen users too. A lot to look at on that site so you have to look around.
You could also try this from Yuichi's Blog - http://yuichisgames.blogspot.com/2010/02/move- mouse.html.
Here's a great list of resouces from Glenda's A.T. Information - http://atclassroom.blogspot.com/2009/04/switch-use.html
Check out Youtube or Watchknow.org - find a video they like, then they can touch the screen to start it and such
Talkingsmartboards has some great sites to check out - http://annemarie80.edublogs.org
Have you tried - http://www.priorywoods.These were just a few of my suggestions, are there any other's you would have suggested?middlesbrough.sch.uk/ resources/videos.htm - they have awesome videos that are quick, and easy to set up for touch screen users.
