more ‘accessibility mature’ (ie aware and intelligently
active) an organisation is the more there is to be gained by
mixing and matching partially accessible solutions to meet
particular needs. However, the concept of partial
accessibility is dangerous in an organisation that lacks
accessibility maturity because it then becomes an excuse for
doing little or nothing and you can get cringe-worthy
attitudes like “these resources are specifically designed
for ‘normal’ people” – which just means “I don’t know any
good practices and couldn’t be bothered finding out”.</span></p>

was head butted into the river. That will go really
well with the audio slideshow template. I could do
another style of spot the difference with the

a Camstudio screencapture describing the Savanna and
then turn it into a synched video followed by a

recommend having a look at some on line jigsaw
websites such as
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

. The puzzles are made within seconds and I’m sure
you could use some photos or images of scenes
relevant to overseas development as the basis of
some activities.

doing some volunteering for a small charity
creating resources for primary school children
to help them understand development in general
and the activities of the charity in
particular. We’re using Xerte to create
resources for use in the primary classroom.
Whilst I have lots of experience with Xerte
and lots of experience in teaching development
to post 16 audiences I have little experience
of primary classrooms so if anyone has any
hints and tips about the kind of approaches to
take, the kinds of resources I might be
integrating with etc I’d be very grateful.
