Zac Browser is a totally free software package. It is the first Internet browser developed specifically for children living with variants of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Asperger syndrome, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, PDD not otherwise specified and PDD-NOS, also called atypical autism. Zac Browser was designed to offer a pleasant, rewarding and secure experience. Children sing, play and discover the best that the Internet has to offer with only a few clicks of the mouse. Zac Browser is software that allows your child to access games (a lot of games) activities (based on diverse interests) along with videos (that allow a stimulating experience and encourages children to talk). All games, activities and videos are specifically chosen for their positive effect on children suffering from autism.

There are some resources listed that we may explore and still some that I have never heard of before.

This presentation tool is very interesting. It certainly is different from the standard powerpoint. I find the movement from one slide to another to be very engaging. I viewed a presentation that a teacher used to introduce herself to her class. I could see using this with my 2nd grade class as a way to introduce myself or to tell them about my 10 favorite books.

This tool can help you keep track of what you need to do with a free to-do list and task manager. When you have several projects you're working on at the same time, it allows you to have check-offs to keep track of your progress. It can also be used with students, assigning them specific tasks within group work. It combines Web, email, and other Web utilities and can be accessed from cell phones, too. Has a tutorial to help you learn it.

This is an online tool that you can access anywhere through an Internet browser. It allows you to take notes, tag them and then sort them whether by class or project. The sorting feature will be useful to both teachers and students and could be used collaboratively, but can also be used privately by using password protection. Has a tutorial for help with FAQs.

This video-sharing site is for educational videos that students have created to teach something. It is similar to YouTube and TeacherTube. For those students who are interested in YouTube, this provides a safer area with the focus on education - could be very motivating for some. It lets students work on a group video as well as independent videos online with possibilities to comment and discuss. Teachers could use it to view what their actual teaching looks like as a way to increase their effectiveness in the classroom as a professional development activity. Has contests, tutorials, tips, and videos on increasing effectiveness in producing videos.

I was excited to see this free Web-conferencing tool. It can be used free to conduct a conference for up to 20 people - collaborative presentations, desktop sharing, chat, interactive audio, etc. Can use in conjunction with Skype. Benefit would be use in reaching students across various geographic locations. This tool could assist some students in feeling more connected to an online class by seeing actual desktops and the interactive audio.
