VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN: September 2012
http://www.visuallyimpairedchildren.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
For all visually impaired children, their families and teachers. Tuesday, 25 September 2012. Reflections on My Year in the Nursery with a Visually Impaired Boy.

He is on target with his alphabet and his numbers (in fact I would say he is a little pro). Mark and I have also worked really hard on improving his cutting...

For all visually impaired children, their families and teachers. Wednesday, 4 March 2015. VISION STIMULATION IN THE CRITICAL PERIOD. Another video I have just uploaded. This time Marina talks about how I introduced the 'lights' and the 'fibre optics', which made a dramatic difference to Cormac. Prior to this time (about 6-8 weeks old) he was barely responding visually. But afterwards he began to fix and follow and develop the really useful vision that he has today. He is now xis years old!

Game Player Interaction: Play Diary: Wii Sports Resort
http://gameplayerinteraction.blogspot.com/2009/07/play-diary-wii-sports-resort.html
HCI for video game players. Thursday, 23 July 2009. Play Diary: Wii Sports Resort. Instructional Video: Nice, though play control (pause, rewind, etc) would be useful - it goes so fast through the steps that I expect many people will panic! Good that you can replay it in sections, but d-pad forward / rewind control through them would be appreciated. Place Wii remote on a steady surface - I was holding mine in my hand, and it just automatically skipped through as if I'd pressed A. 2: defended, draw. Didn'...
