Assistive Technology - Top Apps for Students with Special Needs - 1 views

  • Perhaps this holds truest within the special education realm. Equipping your child or student with the right iPad and iPhone apps can enhance his or her learning process.

      Another great app, in my opinion, would be Audible! This app reads the book aloud for you and would be a great fit for someone who is visually impaired or starts to strain their eyes after reading for a while.

Child of Mine - 0 views

  •  
    This book is a must have for parents and teachers alike! The author dedicated this book to her daughter that has been diagnosed with ADHD. The challenges of being a child whose life is sometimes so hard and the struggles of a parent trying to make the best out of both positive and not-so-positive moments in daily life are shared. I will admit I had tears when I read it, and I feel in our profession we will deal with children just like this little girl. Most importantly, we will need to find a way to help this child have the best day possible each and every day.

Mass Incarceration and Criminal Justice in America : The New Yorker - 2 views

  • The more professionalized and procedural a system is, the more insulated we become from its real effects on real people.
  •  
    This article doesn't "fit" our theme this semester, but seems worthy of our discussion. It is long. I think it worth trying to read carefully.

Pilgrim Hall Museum - 0 views

  •  
    After reading Mayflower I wanted to find out more about the Pilgrims. This site has a lot of the same information from the book on a few pages instead of a couple hundred.

    Mount Rushmore is a tribute to President Roosevelt lifes works and accomplishments. I always wondered why Theodore Roosevelt was one of the presidents carved on the rock. After reading the River of Doubt, I now know why.
