SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra / About

The new SwitchIt! Extra Series is a set of programs which can be easily extended into class activities. We have produced a selection of worksheets and additional on-screen activities to work alongside each of the programs.

Learners who need to develop their ability to use switches to access the computer require a range of software in order to motivate them. The computer can also give them relative independence in learning new concepts. The SwitchIt! Extra Series from Inclusive Technology is designed to help learners develop and demonstrate an understanding of language concepts, as well as develop their ability to use switches.

All of the programs in this series allow access via a single switch, two switches, a touch screen or IntelliKeys as well as a mouse or keyboard. Each program has lots of options to allow it to be used in many different ways.

Settings for a particular student or group can be saved for quick access at a later date. The pictures can also be printed out to make activity cards for use away from the computer.

All the programs are ideal for working with a small group around a plasma screen or interactive whiteboard as well as a standard computer. Creating multi-sensory activities using a selection of sensory resources can enhance the learning outcome for these programs.

SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra explores different prehistoric creatures. Encounter lots of fascinating creatures in this exciting addition to the SwitchIt! series. Look at the dinosaurs’ behaviour, their habitat and how they hunt or forage.

Flash Cards show pictures from this theme one at a time. Use these to talk about things in isolation.

Picture Builds create composite pictures bit by bit, finishing with a reward animation. Use these to talk about how things interact.

Stories are stepped, animated sequences of events. Use these to talk about the theme.

SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra comes with a set of printable classroom resources and supplementary computer activities.
