    KIDO'Z is a web browser that is described by its developers as a "Kid's Web Environment". Once downloaded and installed, the browser offers a self contained web of games, websites and videos that are accessed wiith large icons. Because KIDO'Z is an Adobe Air application, it will run in Windows, Mac, or Linux.

    KIDO'Z comes with an extensive collection of games, videos, and websites built-in, and these appear to have been selected carefully. The beauty of this browser, however, is that you have the option of completely customizing what is available. The browser is managed by a set of Parental Controls that can be accessed anywhere. KIDO'Z is currently available in 17 languages.

    Loose Stitch is a user-friendly outlining tool that can be used in many ways to support learning. An individual can use it to record and organize researched information. Or, it can be used to help keep track of scheduled events or assigned tasks on a project. As well, Loose Stitch offers convenient ways of sharing recorded information. It has been designed to be used collaboratively by a group of people working together on the same project.

    I especially appreciate the ease with which Loose Stitch outlines can be embedded in wikis or blogs.

dyslexia learning education school

shared by Tero Toivanen on 25 Jun 09 - Snapshot
  • "I found my first dinosaur bone at the age of eight during a fossil-hunting trip with my father...Kindergarten through eighth grade was extremely difficult for me because my progress in reading, writing, and mathematics was excruciatingly slow. I would never stand to read out loud in class, even if the teachers threatened to give me failing grades...Eventually, I managed to graduate high school, but just barely, having received Ds in all required classes, including English, in which my grade was a D minus, minus, minus. The teacher told me that this was essentially an F, but that he never wanted to see me again. That was indeed the last time I saw him, but I did send him a copy of my first book!
  • There was, however, one area of school besides P.E. in which I excelled: science projects."

  • He had to work hard. He often woke up early to study before school and studied for hours in the evening. He went to summer school and retook tests.
  • On Monday morning, he joined his younger sister, Rachel, on a stage at the Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall and became a graduate of one of the nation's top high schools.
  • Thaller's story is familiar to many students with learning disabilities who must work two or three times harder than their classmates, often with less results.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • He repeated kindergarten, then first grade, until he was in the same grade as his younger sister. But he continued to lag far behind his peers. By the time he reached sixth grade, he was still reading on a first- or second-grade level.
  • Low scores on cognitive tests prompted many medical professionals and educators to say it would be impossible for Thaller to ever attend college. Many suggested he pursue a diploma with fewer requirements or transfer to a special school with a less academic focus.
  • A major breakthrough came in middle school. Thaller's mother would read him chapters from the Harry Potter series at night. He was so impatient for her to get to the next chapter that he started reading ahead, pushing himself to understand the vocabulary and follow the story.

    Learning How to Learn Assistive Technology
    (one of my presentations)
    "Toolbelt Theory" suggests that we must teach our students how to analyze tasks, the task-completion environment, their own skills and capabilities, an appropriate range of available tools… and let them begin to make their own decisions.
