5 Google Images While we always need to be aware of copyright for images sourced from Google Images, this can be an invaluable tool to find an image in a hurry. Google street view can be a valuable time saver when you need a photo of a building (such as a day program, doctor’s building, or shops). http:// images.google.com/

6 Australian Sign Language (Auslan) Signbank The Auslan Signbank is a language resources site for Auslan, the language of the Deaf community in Australia. SPAD members find it helpful using Auslan signs in conjunction with resources from Key Word Sign Australia in an AAC system. In the Auslan Signbank you can search for a sign using an English keyword or browse keywords alphabetically. This site is great to be able to see how signs are produced when still photos or line drawings are not adequate. The Signbank is useful when preparing for a Key Word Sign workshop and to keep our key word sign repertoire up to date! You can gain free access to the Signbank video clips at www.auslan.org.au 7 Plain English and accessible information resources SPAD is committed to promoting the benefits of plain English, easy English, and accessible information.
