Special Ed

… i created a blog site for some of my students, which i have to admit, i have pinched the idea of from one of my fellow students. However, it has taken a slightly different direction after some jiggery-pokery allowed me to post some symbol-supported text onto my page. Its not perfect, the sizing of the text box versus the image file doesn’t work exactly right, so you cant always read the full text – i think it varies according to browser?

However, by screen-dumping from a Clicker html and pasting into Paint, then saving the symbol text only as a jpeg, hey presto! symbol supported web pages! It is a bit crude, but being a bit simple, i’m impressed!! Plus, its almost instantaneous so its great feedback for the student!

I strongly suspect there may be some issues over copyright re the symbols? If so, i apologise now, but what else are symbols for if not for people to share their writing?

Anyway, if you want to have a look, its at www.blogict.edublogs.org . It is a bit untidy!
