Next project.

Posted on July 17th, 2007 in General by fweep2

Ok, my next project is going to be thinking about how to teach symbols to adult learners.  I’m going to set up a page to track how i get on, but any comments, tips etc – please post!!  We have decided at work that our symbol system will be Makaton, but the vocabulary isnt really wide enough to cover college life!!  So we add in rebus and PCS to suit, and also now are looking at buying in ready-made PECS symbols because its too resource-intensive to make symbol sets that will last for every student that needs them…aarrghh…where do you start?!

wikispace

Posted on July 16th, 2007 in General by fweep2

I’ve succumbed to the temptation!! here is my wikispace … www.fweep.wikispaces.com … its been set up as a forum for the staff team at mu college who are working with students with profound and multiple learning difficulties. Mainly to share ideas, but also because i’m rubbish at remembering to organise enough meetings, but since i’m a sad techy-geek, this will help us all share ideas and talk about whats going on with the programme!!!!
