The Benefits of Eye Gaze in the Classroom.
With eye gaze technology on
a desktop computer, laptop or tablet, your students can use their eyes to
explore, play games, learn, participate in classroom activities, communicate
and more.
We can
start to observe what our students see, attend to and track on screen, what
they notice and don't notice, what they prefer to look at and what sense they
make of what they see.
|
These
are fundamental skills that most of us have not had the tools to assess or
look at in detail before now. Such understanding of our most complex students
could lead to changes in our teaching practices and open up wider
opportunities for our students to interact and engage.
The myGaze Assistive eye
tracker is the first choice for teachers wanting to explore eye gaze with their
students in the classroom...

Insight - Assess and Develop your Students' Visual Learning Skills.
Insight helps engage,
assess and develop students' visual learning skills through eight specifically
designed Learning Goals. Focusing on key milestones in early learning, they
follow a developmental progression that can be used flexibly as an assessment tool,
or sequentially for progressive learning.
Perhaps the most important Learning Goal.
Vision, over all other senses, accounts for most of our learning. To get any
meaning from vision we first have to attend to it.
Looks closely at how aware
students are of different images appearing in their visual field and how they
direct their gaze to them. Introduces easy interaction and fun game play.
Develops fixating skills,
helping students to gain more meaning from what they look at and to use their
eyes to interact with intent, express preferences, participate and play.
Provides plenty of content
to help develop important skills used in almost all daily activities; including
gross motor and play activities plus reading, writing and drawing.
Presents engaging stimuli
with a repetitive pause pattern to encourage students to anticipate and respond
for more. Can be used to inform early cognitive assessment.
Helps to develop students'
skills so they can start making meaningful choices from multiple options,
opening up opportunities to communicate.
Students can learn to shift
their gaze, fixate on more than one image and use back and forth looking
behaviours. It involves investigating and developing students' purposeful
actions.
Aims to investigate and
develop the student's ability to use early planning, prediction and problem
solving skills.
