Website for the high incidence accessible technology team at the Montgomery County School District in MD. Offers links to sites on a variety of tech ideas for literacy, math, science, and social studies. Links deal with assistive tech for students with high incident disabilities.
There are many more products, for cost or free, on the PC side than on the Mac side, this blog is devoted to AT on Mac OS X. May be a resource for keeping current with new products and development on this platform.
Description taken directly from site"…provide teachers and students access to virtual manipulatives that directly support our district's math and technology curricula. In 2002, the BPS Office of Instructional Technology and Secondary Math Department began working with the Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) to align technology to our math curriculum and to provide professional development to our teachers and district staff."
Great, I am really liking this. I have started using it for the QIAT references that I think are useful. I will use QIAT as a tag so people know how I came across it.
QIAT discussion thread: Touchscreens. Interesting company provides add-on , or integrated touchscreens, also has a visual product that seems to use laser pointer.
This is a blog site I have referenced before: Sam does an extensive amount of work around AAC and accessibility using Web 2.0 tools. This blog reference reviews a new and Free program from the University of North Carolina. It is a collaborative project between Comp Sci and the Department of Literacy and Disability (Karen Erickson's group). Take a look.
This site describles a project to convert as many picture (trade) books as possible into Intellipics, or Clicker, following a designated template so the books are accessible to students with multiple challenges. This was a great presentation at CTG 2007.
I have recommended this site before. In the past it provided a comprehensive comparison of math and reading programs. Now the site has been updated to include new programs, new ways of examining features and now includes writing and AT tools.
