Pale pastel colour backgrounds contrast well with a <strong>black<\/strong> or <strong>dark blue<\/strong> text colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>White text should only be used on a dark background, like <strong>red<\/strong>, <strong>navy blue<\/strong>, <strong>purple<\/strong> or <strong>black<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a clear font such as Arial, Verdana or Tahoma. Avoid stylised fonts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a bold or <strong>semi-bold<\/strong> font<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set font to a large size \u2013 at least 16pt (check to see specific recommendations for the learner you are making resources for).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using LARGE AMOUNTS OF CAPITALISED TEXT or <em>italicised text<\/em> as these can be hard to read<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left align text and use at least 1.5 line spacing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reducing workload and written content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sending presentations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sending class PowerPoints \/ SMART notebook files \/ handouts to students digitally prior to the lesson can be hugely beneficial. This would allow them to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add their own notes to existing content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spend extra time on specific parts \/ revisit afterwards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zoom in on different sections \/ make font size larger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy and paste relevant parts into their own notes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal devices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being able to use a mobile device to take photos of the board can be helpful. Photos taken can upload automatically to OneDrive \/ Google Drive and then added to Word \/ OneNote, etc. quickly and easily (with a little practice). Some tasks, like homework and reminders, are often given at short notice and can be challenging for children with physical difficulties to manage and cause anxiety. A device that can take a quick picture of the board may help to reduce this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screenshots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If screen sharing software is being used then screenshots of select pages can be taken and added in to notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On a Windows device press the &#8216;PrtScn&#8217; key or &#8216;Windows logo key + Shift + S&#8217;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On an iPad, depending on your model, you press the power button + home button or power button + volume button at the same time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On a Chromebook you would press &#8216;CTRL + Shift + Show Windows key which looks like three rectangles layered on top of each other .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set the background and text colour to contrast appropriately.
