Eye+Training


 * __Eye Training Activities__**

[|Eye Can Learn] is an eye training site that can be used to develop speed, perception, focus and tracking skills. The site is made up of several training activities in these 4 areas. I think that this site is aimed at children in the lower primary area as it uses very basic objects, words and pictures, but could also be used by children with learning disabilities that may be beind in these areas.

In my opinion [|Eye Can Learn] would be best used as a way to test the level of visual skills in students, allowing the teachers to assess which students are not fully competent in these areas and will need to be worked on, rather than a site that is used purely as a learning exercise for the students.

One example from the site that would be a good way to assess the students' tracking skills would be the [|Rabbit Jumps] exercise. In this exercise the students are asked to keep their head still whilst following the rabbit with their eyes and touching it with alternating hands (left, right, left, right. . .). It also touches on the speed as it is quite a fast exercise that incorporates the students ability to control eye movements as well as the ability to direct the hands. This is one example that could be used to test a variety of students.
