Textease in Wales

Croeso! ( Welcome!)

 We have been visiting a number of people and places in Wales  over the last two weeks to talk about Textease Studio CT. We presented to the WJEC inset programme over two days, to representatives across Wales. We were invited to talk to Literacy subject leaders in Wrexham Welsh Medium Schools, earlier this week. The interest and potential for Textease in Welsh medium schools and for  teaching  Welsh as a 2^nd Language has been of particular interest. The ease of use of Textease has been enlightening and exciting.

When Doug shows how simple it is to record on the page and to use the in-built speech engine, so many faces light up as they think about the possibilities for use in the classroom. Such simple applications can be used for a powerful effect when recording directly onto an object, image, video or text.

 We are currently in the process of translating Textease Studio CT into Welsh thanks to Conwy ICT team who are hard at work assiting with the translation. Conwy primary schools will be the first to get the software to help deliver the new skills framework part of the new Welsh Curriculum but it will open up many uses in the growing interest in the Welsh language throughout Wales.  If you would like to hear more about this please do get in contact with us. 

Hwyl am y tro!
