More Politics


There is an excellent resource for the interactive whiteboard from
Parliament UK education service.
I recommend
Level 1 . With a little background information this resource would be accessible to Entry level students with a learning disability .
There is an accompanying PDF which gives an outline of the scope of resource.

I have also added more resource links to my blog entry Politics and voting

is a website aimed at adults with a learning disability. It has sections on
why you should vote, how to register to vote,how to vote and issues to consider when voting.


It would be a good resource to use with Count Me from Mencap.

How I used the swf file(citizenship) in my blog
:


  • Download swf files from Inspiredservices site
  • Save on computer
  • Upload to a file-sharing site . Mine are at 4 shared where I have a free account
  • Code for embedding is given to you on the 4 shared site.
  • Copy this into the main body of your new post and save.
  • The sound linked icon will appear.

This is the limit of my skills . I would like to put into Moodle but don't know how to do it!
