Communicate: By Choice Activities
Communicate: By Choice activities cover a wide range of basic and curriculum tasks. Everything from very simple tasks for students with severe learning difficulties, to much more demanding cognitive tasks suitable for use in mainstream primary education and for all ages in special education. Teachers can easily allocate sequences of activities for individual students or groups
Create and edit your own activities using the simple editor
Communicate: By Choice is made up of two programs: A 'player' for students to work through the activities and an 'Editor' to edit existing activities and create new ones. The easiest way to get the most out of 'By Choice' is to edit an existing activity and replace the text and images to change the subject matter.
You'll have instant access to the extensive collection of colour and black & white Widgit Literacy Symbols. And a host of additional pictures, symbols and sounds to help bring your activities to life. You can also add your own digital photographs, clipart, sounds or music.
The editor has three levels of access:
- Edit only - A quick and easy way to edit existing activities
- Create & Edit - Create simple activities with more editing freedom
- Expert - A fully-featured editor for those who want to create activities from scratch
Also included are a number of example activities that demonstrate the potential of the program and give you a starting point for creating your own activities quickly.
