The AutoVerbal Talking Soundboard speaks for those who can't - 13 views

    I think it may be worth noting that AVTS is not written by anybody connected with AAC or autism or special education or even disability, as far as I can tell. Whether that's relevant to the application's future is something we will only know in the future, but I have more faith in the integrity and the security for the future applications where the writers have a strong connection to disability in some way. Looking at the other applications by this company they're things like "Ringtones Uncensored" and other apps which use text-to-speech for amusement rather than utility. That doesn't mean the app is bad or that it won't be supported going forward, but personally it gives me much less faith in the app's long-term support.

  • Abstract As we invite students to compose and collaborate in online spaces, wikis have emerged as a primary tool for writing. While wikis sometimes have a negative connotation in academic circles -- any discussion of Wikipedia will assuredly bring out a range of emotions in teachers and researchers -- the basic principles of wiki writing offers students many opportunities to draft, publish, and revise their work. Moreover, wikis provide opportunities for students to develop online communities, embed additional web-based media into their writing, and monitor their own work over time. This segment of our workshop will invite you to become a wiki writer, seeing the possibilities for yourself and allowing you to set up your own class wiki in the process.
