These are the aims of the project decided between school and the LA Pictures Fionn with Big Mack Sarah with Go talk 9 Both communication aids that play back a short recorded message.
It was set up in October 2004 A hygiene room was converted to make a special base with storage for the equipment and benches so students could come in and review the pieces of equipment. Picture – Jess Ward with two adjustable switches
LP Could hold usually 12 tracks IPod 40,000 tracks with much higher quality
Ken Olsen was one of America’s top engineers when he made the comment . The Head of IBM also said he could not see a market for more than 6 computers world wide. The 0.6kg computer is a laptop not a smartphone.
ZhuZhu pets are an electronic pet that responds to the child and acts as a real animal Mindflex is a game where you attach a band to your head and it translates brainwaves into moving a ball around a maze. It learns neuron patterns to create control Dora Links Doll – Connects to the computer via USB. Children can interact with the website. They can also change her appearance on the screen which then changes the physical appearance of the doll. Nintendo Dsi – Newest version of the DS Robosapien – (Pronounced Robo say pea n) Is a robot that interacts with it’s surroundings as well as a remote control. It is what Ryan is playing with on the photo. If you don’t know what the ones of the left are you must have had a terrible childhood!
This is a true statistic. The computers on all of the Apollo systems were regarded as the best in the world yet are outstripped by a phone The first commercially available PC had less computer power than a singing birthday card (The Apollo 11 Computer broke on final approach and Neil Armstrong landed without it)
No words can add to this slide
The slide is showing the downward spiral that students without access find themselves in.
The reverse slide of the previous one. Showing how progress can be made.
1984 – 100 None in private hands mostly university and military applications. None using the world wide web as we know it 1992 – Only two years after Sir Tim Berners – Lee invented the World Wide Web 1 million devices. Still not many in private hands 2008 – 1 Billion devices which is a conservative estimate. Latest figure 1.7 billion people Online 42% of world’s population 24% in Europe
These figures include students in Special Schools as well as in Mainstream. There are not specific figures for what is spent in Special Needs but it is considerably less than £79 million. RM have turnover of £260 million Promethean £80m Smart £50m Inclusive Technology £1.8million (Largest Access supplier by a considerable Margin)
