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...

"Bailey
is 7 years old and has a complex medical history including epilepsy surgery and
an unspecified visual impairment. He is a little boy who can become very
frustrated. His parents feel this is because he can't get his message across.
When choosing objects and activities (with low tech), we struggle to be sure of
where he is looking due to his eye movements. We were able to calibrate Bailey
using the 1 point calibration on myGaze. Using the analysis tools (from
Attention and Looking) has been invaluable in giving us the information we need
to support this young man's learning. It has also shown us that he is able to
follow and understand simple instruction when accessing certain activities on
the computer. Bailey loves the music activities, Robot Factory and Splat."

"RMB
(18 years old with Cerebral Palsy) was thrilled with the Eye Can Fly and now
wants to be a pilot! In his own words, using eye gaze and communication
software; "I liked video game. I liked plane Jet because school
plane" (flight school). "I like be pilot".
Eye Can
Fly is great fun, motivational and rewarding for pupils whilst also combining
good educational content such as spatial concepts and world geography. They are
learning without realising because it is such good fun."

"Halle
is our youngest student to try eye gaze at only 3 years of age. From our
initial observations in school we feel she has a great deal of potential and
certainly understands much more than she is able to express. We are keen to try
all types of access, but due to her physical difficulties, eye gaze holds lots
of promise. We are keen to provide Halle with as much of the same learning and
play opportunities as other children her age and eye gaze access has the
potential to be used with lots of different software activities. On her very
first try, Halle showed good detection and tracking skills (Attention and
Looking). This is definitely an access method we will be exploring more to help
include Halle at her appropriate learning level."
