Have you heard of the Cap That! website?It is an initiative of Media Access Australia and is in its third year.It encourages teachers to turn on captions when showing videos as a tool to improving literacy and learning for all students.Traditionally, captions were thought to be for people with hearing difficulties but recent research supports the use to improve students' listening and reading comprehension,vocab acquisition and information recall.Go to the website to find out how to turn captions on and find captioned multimedia resources that are linked to the Australian Curriculum.
