Changes to ChooseIt! Maker 3

Last year, ChooseIt! Maker 3 online was released as a fantastic option for creating online activities that you can use with a touchscreen, mouse, switch or eye gaze. You can read more about how it works here.

Inclusive Technology have certainly been listening to the public feedback and they have come up with some great new updates which were included this week!

Folders

Create your own folders for activities that fit into a particular theme. Group all your literacy or numeracy activities in one place. Each folder can be personalised with colour and a picture.

Search Facility

Once you have created lots of activities, it may be hard to locate them. Now you can search your activities via title, long description or keywords.

Share Activities

This is something I’ve been excited about as the “Share” button was there and I knew it was coming. So now you can share your ChooseIt! Maker 3 activities with colleagues, friends and loved ones. CM3 subscribers can share activities to other ChooseIt! Maker 3 online accounts. There will be an update to CM3 iPad/Android Apps soon, which will allow sharing on the apps also.

Security

And lastly, Password Protection has been added into CM3 whenever you are managing activities.

I’ve also made a quick video to show you the new features.
