2. Learning Tools

Each post contains information on a particular topic. There will be a file attached for you to download and open on your computer (either a PDF at the bottom of each section, or a Word.doc in the 6.FILES section at the bottom of the left hand menu).
You can then save it or print it. 
 
In some cases there is a short video clip that shows you what happens.  The screen may vary with what you have on your own computer but the main points are the same.
You can play these video clips, pause, rewind and replay in your own time.
If you have anything to add to improve these methods, any feedback about whether it’s helped you or you discover a new technique, then you can add it in the comments section.
