Power point presentation
There are many assistive technology tools available to support students with learning disabilities. These include talking spellcheckers and electronic dictionaries, alternative keyboards for students with dexterity issues, audio books and publications to help with reading, and speech recognition programs to assist with writing and spelling. Other tools are personal FM listening systems to amplify voices, electronic math worksheets, graphic organizers, and word prediction programs. When choosing assistive technologies, it is important to consider the student's specific needs, strengths, weaknesses, interests, and where the technology will be used. Assistive technologies can provide opportunities to stimulate imagination, interact with others, control environments, level the playing field, and develop independence and higher-order skills.

Elearning "Paperless classsroom"
This document discusses the concept of a paperless classroom using e-learning and information technology. It describes how computers and technology are becoming integral parts of education. A paperless classroom would eliminate hard copies of materials like assignments, handouts, and rubrics, instead making all content available digitally. E-learning tools that can help create a paperless environment include learning management systems, email, digital presentations, and online resources. While a paperless classroom has advantages like being more environmentally friendly and engaging for students, fully implementing it would require funding, access to technology, and teacher training.

Improving the chances of reading with technology
This document discusses factors that influence the successful use of technology to aid reading. It presents research showing that while technology to support reading is available, only 20% of those eligible use text-to-speech for exams. The technology acceptance model and social factors influence adoption of assistive technologies. Barriers like stigma, competency, involvement in development, functionality, access, support and awareness must be addressed. Case studies examine providing text-to-speech for exams and designing speech for math, highlighting the need to consider an individual's strengths, tasks, resources, expertise, environment and tools in technology selection.
Supporting reading and writing with technology
This document discusses various assistive technologies and universal design for learning tools that can support reading and writing for students with diverse needs. It describes tools like Bookshare, Don Johnston Solo Suite, Microsoft Word add-ons, and iPad apps that provide text-to-speech, word prediction, digital books and more. Guidelines and frameworks are presented for selecting assistive technologies, including the SETT framework and considering a student's environment, tasks and needed tools. Mandates for assistive technology from acts like IDEA and ADA are also briefly covered.
Mobile learning
Mobile learning (m-learning) involves using mobile technologies and devices like smartphones and tablets to access educational content. Smartphones allow learning materials to be accessed anywhere and support activities like conducting research, taking notes, communicating with others, and accessing multimedia resources. In schools, colleges and universities, smartphones help with tasks like checking facts, taking photos/videos, reading ebooks, making presentations and communicating. In open schools and distance learning, smartphones support activities such as forming discussion groups, accessing ebooks and videos, self-assessment quizzes, and interacting with teachers and peers.

Back to basics: Edtech to help dyslexic pupils
This document discusses how educational technology can help students with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. It focuses on how text-to-speech technology can support reading, writing, and spelling skills by allowing students to listen to text being read aloud. While such technology is available through free and paid tools, many teachers are hesitant to use it due to perceived costs, reliability issues, or lack of training. However, studies show that text-to-speech can improve reading speed, comprehension, spelling, behavior, confidence, and independence for students when used regularly. The document provides resources for teachers to learn more about integrating assistive technologies.
Free opensourceat
This document provides a summary of free enabling technologies that can support learning differences. It outlines various tools for planning, reading, writing, visualization and communication.
