Macbeth Witches vs AboutNumbers PRO

iPad app created to support sensory teaching for students with complex learning needs. Sixteen simple sound boards with excerpts from Macbeth's 'Witches Scene', stormy weather effects and generally spooky noises are included. The boards are particularly useful in supporting the NI Thematic Unit 'Our Academy for Wizards and Witches' but is a useful resource alongside sensory work more generally where Macbeth, Halloween or storms and weather are the focus. Various layouts including single button and two button boards are included. A choice of cartoon and photographic images is provided to suit age ranges from primary school age onward. The iPad screen can be used as a 'Tap Anywhere' switch and scanning is included for most Bluetooth switches used directly without iOS Switch Control enabled. This is also a simple app to use with any iOS compatible switch interface and iOS Switch Control. Options to add backgrounds, remove text labels and use audio effects to playback are also included.

AboutNumbers is an early math application aimed at dealing with counting, sets, numbers and calculating in the number domain up to 10. An important feature throughout the entire applications is the structured representation of sets (2 lines and 5 columns) to facilitate non-counting strategies of recognizing sets, the understanding of the relation among numbers and the notion of numbers in general. AboutNumbers for iPad is available in 2 versions: - AboutNumbers: Only a limited number of exercises can be used. An In-App Purchase is required to use all exercises. - AboutNumbers PRO: All exercises can be used without limitation. The application is designed for pre-school and elementary school children with or without impairments, for people with math deficiencies, as well as young people and adults with learning disabilities. The application contains a wide number of increasingly complex exercises. Each exercise is aimed to further a specific skill (e.g. counting or calculating). Completed exercises are recorded by the application to document the learning progress. To enable the use of this application with several people, a user manager is offered. Individual settings and results will be saved and can be loaded quickly. The exercises can be operated by alternative input devices such as external switches or eye tracking.
