Article: [senit] [!! SPAM] Re: smart notebook and feedback

Hi David,

You can't use ChooseIt Maker to sort things into sets but as a precursor or 
reinforce you could put a set of objects with similar attributes on a page 
with at least one that doesn't share an attribute with the others then you 
ask your pupils to find all the red things/fruit/animals etc. You would also 
give them the objects or pictures of the objects to sort.

Another program that I forgot to mention that you can do sorting with on a 
whiteboard is Communicate by Choice from Widgit. This also gives positive 
feedback for correct choices and it allows you to create lots of different 
types of activities.

Sally
