SwitchIt! Maker 2 Older Learners Edition
by Inclusive Technology
Turn your text, images, movies and sounds into switch-accessible stories, slide shows and simple onscreen activities
SwitchIt! Maker 2 Older Learners Edition has all the benefits of SwitchIt! Maker 2 but also has an interface, example activities and graphics library that are specifically designed for older learners.
Ideal for learners aged 11 and beyond, this software makes it really easy for older users with learning difficulties to create life stories as part of person centred planning. They can also create their own talking stories or present their preferences and interests in a way that is meaningful for them. Activities are automatically accessible using switches, touch monitor, IntelliKeys, keyboard or mouse.
With SwitchIt! Maker 2, you can easily make talking books starring your students, or a slide show of a recent trip. Put that digital camera to good use!
Activities are easy to make and easy to play! Each activity has a sequence of onscreen pages which can have a picture, a video, some writing, music or recorded speech. You can use a simple switch, the computer’s spacebar, the mouse buttons or IntelliKeys to turn the pages.
SwitchIt! Maker 2 is especially designed so that students can make activities as part of a lesson. It’s that easy! The simple editor helps students and those with severe learning difficulties to make their own stories as part of a creative class activity. It’s ideal for making group activities using an interactive whiteboard too!
