This week we started class by watching a great presentation done by Elaine. We were able to see how iPads are making learning so much easier for these students. It was a great presentation and it was so nice to see these kids having success.
We covered many apps this class that continue to blow my mind. To think what was available and what is now available is incredible. We explored symbol support which allows symbols and words written together to provide additional support for students. This has been a computer program and is now an app.
We worked with Clicker Sentences. I really like this app and can think of a few students who I could use this with.
This app was easy to set up and could be very helpful to students.
We quickly looked at Proloquo2go. This app is one of the more popular apps and does have a large price tag of almost 200 dollars, but compared to how much this type of technology use to cost it's a steal!
We tried garage band, which is a fun app that allows all people to access music.
We looked at iBook Creator and iMovie which are both really great apps.
We briefly looked at iBooks Textbooks, which are amazing interactive books that allow access to all students. There are movies, voice over, close captioning, and many more features. Truly amazing!
iReadWrite is a good app for children who need to have word definitions and it shows a symbol to help the student see if they have the correct word.
Pages is an app that can help you develop content on your iPad. There are a lot of templates that you can use when you are trying to create a published piece of work. It interfaces with iCloud, e-mail, webdav and imessage.
Keynote is simple to use and is basically powerpoint for the iPad
The final app was explain everything. This is similar to Khan Academy and Educreations with some differences.
