SEN Teacher

I've long had a link up to SEN Teacher, but recently had cause to use it more than usual. I'd forgotten what an absolutely brilliant site it is. Absolutely priceless when it comes to knocking up easy print-outs of money and lanugage related teaching resources. Great for knocking up customised certificates too. So thank you whoever is behind SEN Teacher. Brilliant!

News in Symbols

News-2-You and Inclusive Technology have tied up to bring out free news bulletins on an occasional basis. Their first is on the royal wedding which you may be aware of.

For more regular accessible news, take a look at SymbolWorld.org and the BBC's Accessible news-reader. Amusingly the BBC are running with a "Royal Wedding Sick Bag for sale!" story under the UK news.

Added to the OneSwitch page on accessible news.

On-line Picture Editing Software

In my other job, I've been working on pictorial shopping lists for very easy to cook meals. As our computers are locked up tight as regards installing new software, it's been great to discover how many superb on-line picture editing packages there are.

We've initially been using two fantastic on-line free photo editing packages to do this. First is "Pixlr" from Pixlr.com which takes a bit of getting used to, but is very powerful. Secondly is FotoFlexer which is simpler with some great effects. If these don't suit, there are many more photo editors that are equally worth a try.

All added to my Free Symbols section, which combined offer some great starting points for building inclusive communication systems.

España: Campeona del Mundo

Congratulations to Spain for seeing of the dastardly-Dutch squad, and deservedly winning the World Cup. One day England will win it again I'm sure, one day...
