BREAKING NEWS: ChooseIt! Maker 3 wins CODiE Award

ChooseIt! Maker 3 has been named SIIA Education CODiE Award WINNER for Best Solution for Special Needs Students.

"The CODiE Awards are the software industry's equivalent of the movie industry's Oscars and television's Emmys. They are annual awards given by the Software and Information Industry Association for excellence in software development within the software industry."
Wikipedia

Judge's Comments:

Judge One:
"This product was the best that I have seen regarding the implementation of 21st century technology incorporated into the application. The use of eye recognition software to give a child with a severe disability the advantage to answer a teacher made question or questions that are generated by the computer itself really put this software and all of it's capabilities to the highest of standards.
The overall interface of the application and the combination of the software development to create an enriched experience for the student sets this software/application above the rest."

Judge Two:
"ChooseIt! Maker3 online is a computer assisted instruction tool that allows parents, teachers and support staff to generate choice-making activities, games and quizzes for students who are: very young; fall in the ESL category; or, have physical impairments, learning challenges. ChooseIt! can be used to create across the curriculum resources for special needs students based on student need. Step by Step Wizard guides teachers/parents through the development process. The online program is intuitive and very easy to navigate through. "

Personalised Learning:

ChooseIt! Maker 3 allows teachers to create, edit and play personalised learning materials and choice making activities securely online. Use in your classroom and with individual students and download to your iPad or Android tablet!
