Priory Woods Videos Revamped

For many students, access to the computer requires the use of some assistive input device such as a switch or a touch screen. Priory Woods has developed a range of motivating programs to help students develop the skills needed to use these devices in a meaningful way. Switch 'videos' are simple slideshows animations set to music which can be operated by switch or touch-screen. They feature sounds and images from popular music and TV shows and can be used with pupils of all ages.

After using Priory Woods videos with students I felt that they could be improved by making them stop after a few seconds and getting the student to press their mouse or switch to continue. I have combined 3 movies into one activity for students to make choices. Also I have removed the choice of switch or touch screen menu so students can use activities without assistance.

Useful Links

This page is where you will find links to lots of different web sites that I think are useful. If you have any that you use with students please let me know.
