The End

Well here it is the end of our course. I learned so much from Barb as well as from the rest of you. I was truly enjoyable. I only wish I could take the second course but with the weather the way it is and getting up at 5:30... well I guess it won't be happening right now.
I enjoyed everyone's case study and will certainly be looking into APSEA for "Daniel".
I also wanted to include these 3 videos that Pam had in her case study - truly inspirational!!!



Happy Holidays everyone!!

Cartoon

Here is the cartoon that Rachel presented in her case study. I think that it captures everything that this course represents. I definitely plan to share it with my staff.

Clicker 5

Clicker 5 is AT that can be used for students with cognitive delays, significant reading and writing issues and visual impairments. In class, we were asked to use Clicker 5 to make an E-book and a writing grid.
This program allows you to add pictures and text and you can also voice record. It has so many possiblities. I am sorry that I missed out on this class as this program has so much potential. I certainly learned a lot about it in the short time that I got to play with it while completing our activity for Mary.

Kurzweil 3000 Video

I saw this video on YouTube - a good overview of Kurzweil in case you forget.

Inspiration 8

Today I got to play with Inspiration 8! It certainly was not the same instruction as I would have received in class but it was interesting. I can definitely appreciate how students become frustrated in class. Many a time I had use the undo button : ) Regardless, here is my creation about the writing process.



Thanks to everyone who had already posted their creations as it helped me to see all of the steps/requirements! After creating this I then discovered there is a tutorial!!! I think that I will definitely be using it before I try this again : )
