    I let each student set the rate that works for them. If they are struggling readers, I find that is too fast. #ATchat

    #ATchat I am really leaning towards that but there are experimental reasons to uniformly set the speed across students. What is the range of speeds students like? Is it really wide?

    I am obsessed with Google Keep! I use that all the time for my own note taking. For Ss - it lets them add notes in from voice, type, write, add pix. Color code, organize by labels, grab image text. I could go on but running out of space.....#Atchat

  • tjoshaughnessy Feb 28 @ 8:23 PM EST
    Cost, practicality, user friendlyness compared with iOS apps like notability, ClaroPDF but more i find it only works with a particular type of student - a lot of the time not the student I’m working with #atchat

    Yes!!! - especially when thinking about the three grade levels. In my experience, it could be anywhere from 110 - 175 wpm. It also depends on what voice students choice. #ATchat

    In reply to @KarenJan, @jvanhoutensped

    #atchat it depends on processing speed, level of reading ability, level of auditory listening skills. 110-175 is about what I find in my evaluations. So many favorite factors.

    Another great one, but can’t get it on Word for Mac, which is a pain. #atchat

    Joining late! Apple has arranged to use one of my schools for a photo-shoot to demonstrate the use of accessibility features with children with disabilities! I'm super excited about this opportunity. #atchat

    Can help but notice that nearly every tool mentioned today should be a mainstream tool if it isn’t already -most are just about individual preferences #atchat #udl

    I was just using it today also for that!! It saves me a lot:) #atchat

    Yes, free listening to what you wrote tools has also helped improve grad student writing. (And I wish a few more admissions applicants had used it for their essays!) #ATchat

    Highlighting the use of the iPad and apps to access curriculum. A break through moment using apple products for a student in our K-2 multiple disabilities class. The photo will tell the story! #atchat #Apple

    What do people think of Open Forum? Should we continue it at the end of every month? #ATchat

    This week I had the pleasure of working with two VI students. Does anyone have resources to support VI students in the community? I've played around with vocal eyes and the snap and read app to take pictures and OCR text. Also built in magnifier in iOS. #ATchat
  • tchrmom2boys Feb 28 @ 8:58 PM EST
    Some of it is that districts don’t want to pay for subscription based tools and try to get around it with the free stuff. Many more know about it than use it #atchat

    As the saying goes: You don’t know, what you don’t know...If people don’t know the tools exist, they won’t be used with all students. It’s about exposure & education to get the right tools into the hands of our teachers so they can empower ALL students. #ATchat
