Fodey.com


Hi,

I have just played with this talking tomato on Fodey.com. What a wonderful tool to use with children. It is a lot of fun and a very easy program to use. Just had to save the image on my desktop first before loading onto Blogger.
My initial thought immediately were towards students with special needs but of course all students could benefit from this visual learning tool. However students with special needs particularly could benefit because, number one it is fun for them but also they often find sitting and listening to a human speak quite difficult. It would provide them with an interesting visual character to learn from. Students with Autism especially sometimes find human intimidating which is why they often like characters such as Thomas the Tank and can relate to these.
Just another perspective to learning and how a teacher could provide positive learning experiences for a range of diverse needs.
Regards,
Natalie
