Mrs Riley It's In the Cards
Mrs. Riley It's In the Cards is a communication card/board building application that is totally online. It combines photo symbols, picture symbols and text symbols in grid layouts of various sizes and configurations.
Currently Mrs. Riley's It's In the Cards is in free public beta.
- Users can try it without registering, but will need to register to save or print.
- It has a very intuitive, easy interface for communication board software. It beats similar software hands down as far as simplicity is concerned.
- It is felt that, once out of free public beta, if this site keeps the price down there may be an awful lot of professionals, teachers, and parents who will subscribe.
"Mrs. Riley was created so AAC professionals, teachers, and parents could collaboratively make educational materials, starting with picture cards. If you've ever made a picture card with a custom image yourself, you know that it can be tedious. We understand and after going through it ourselves for so long, we decided to wrap the entire process into a single online application with these goals:
- Easier - Designed to make simple tasks simple.
- Faster - Sharing is built right in so it's often a matter of search and print.
- Cheaper - During the Public Beta, it's free, and once that's over subscriptions will be very affordable.
We also built Mrs. Riley to tap into people's work automatically. For instance, as you find images for cards, we make them accessable to all users. When you save a page, each of the cards on the page become individually searchable, and a deck of cards is created from the page. So as more people use Mrs. Riley, there is more to search through and work with, which saves everyone time."
