MyBoard also has a choice of simple sets of tools that are ideal for less able learners. The sizing and positioning tools are really easy to use; clear, vibrant buttons for maximum accessibility – great for whiteboards and suitable for those with poor motor control.
Toolboxes include:
“Painting” Toolbox
This toolbox is for painting within MyBoard. There are two brush sizes and a small set of colours to choose from. You can also erase and undo if you make mistakes.
All the toolboxes feature the move tool so that you can drag pictures and text around the activity.
“Picture Play” Toolbox
The Picture Play toolbox is used for making pictures (and text) bigger and smaller, rotating and flipping. You can also place pictures underneath or on top of each other and lock items so that they cannot be moved.
“Writing” Toolbox
You can add words, labels or any other text using the Writing toolbox. You can enter text using the touchscreen keyboard or via a standard keyboard. As well as making the text bigger or smaller, you can also change its colour and remove the background.
“My Pictures” Toolbox
The My Pictures toolbox is perhaps the most important as it has the tools you need to get your pictures into MyBoard. You can choose pictures from 2000+ images within the scrapbook, load your own pictures from your computer or browse the internet using Google images – all without having to leave MyBoard.
Using the webcam is a great way of taking photograph in a classroom environment. You can instantly take photographs of people or objects and have them on the screen in seconds.
Plays sound too!
MyBoard’s sound feature adds a whole new dimension. MyBoard is ideal for providing visual prompts for the language used in the classroom, helping students’ understanding.
Pictures and text can speak, giving extra motivation and reinforcement and making MyBoard scenes more interactive and inclusive. The ability to add sound to pictures and text enables teachers and therapists to make fun and engaging receptive and expressive language activities too.
Target specific speech and language skills for individuals or make relevant group activities.
