Editor's Notes
- Instructional Technologies for Special Education – El Gaucho, Scott Waterhouse
- Many classrooms today have a number of special education students requiring extra support, but the necessary resources are not well funded.
- First and foremost Access all that Google has to offer for education It provides the best interface to Google’s apps iGoogle, Google Groups, Google Reader, Google Currents, Google Goggles, Maps, Search Engine still the # 1 site followed my FB and YouTube
- Specifics of what extra features might be available using a Google tablet for access? Maps, iGoogle, Google Groups, Google Reader, Google Currents, Google Goggles, Search Engine still the # 1 site followed my FB and YouTube
- https://sites.google.com/site/gchromeat/home
- Maps, iGoogle, Google Groups, Google Reader, Google Currents, Google Goggles, Search Engine still the # 1 site followed my FB and YouTube
- Lots apps tap into that Option to turn on text to speech accessibility 25 voices in 40 languages
- Proloquo2Go http://www.assistiveware.com/product/proloquo2go Although Apple has a user agreement with schools volume purchasing so it may be half ONLY DIFFERENCE ON THE FREE VERSION IS A LIMITED NUMBER OF PRE MADE BOARDS Pros NOT A SINGLE PURPOSE DEVICE 1. Portability and lightness (new iPad2 even lighter and thinner at 1.35 pounds, flexibility, and ease of use 2. Long battery life (up to 10 hours) 3. Instant on 4. Ease of software download 5. Screen resolution quality 6. Innovative software (applications) 7. Price starting at $499.00 8. Wide availability of free applications 9. The iPad is a “cool” tech device that doesn’t immediately mark a child as different, many see it as a more attractive option than the more traditional ones. Many children are captivated by it, many are motivated to master quite a few skills in a short span of time Cons 1. The sound: It has been reported that the volume can be a little low when people use it to speak in a crowded area. 2. While iPad is overall good for teachers, students, and classrooms, on the down side it doesn’t yet support Flash and some complain abo uthe lack of physical connectors, such as a dedicated USB ports and SD card slots 3. Another potential weakness is…its weakness. While relatively sturdy, it’s not as sturdy as a communication board that’s specifically designed for special needs populations. (A person does have to exert some caution when using the device with youngsters who are prone to frustrated outbursts.) 4. Any type of alternative input (joystick, head tracker, trackball, switch, ect.), you will need something other than an iPad 5. If your user simply can “not” operate or understand the initial slide of the iPad it is not a good option. 6. If your user perseverates on the Menu button and constantly drops out of their AAC software. 7. No scanning capability 8. Touch screen can be annoying/frustrating at times…..as seen in the beginning of this video Max tries to use iPad and Proloquo2
