Today we looked deeper at some of the apps discussed in Friday's webinar. It was great to see the apps being used first hand and get a chance to play with them ourselves. Readiris was my favourite in conjunction with ClaroPDF. Together these two apps open up so many doors for students with a variety of learning difficulties. They allow students to become more independent, gain a better understanding of their work, and improve their self esteem. To me that is a win-win-win.
We finished the class by beginning to look at our iTunes U course. It seems like there is going to be a lot of work but it will be great to investigate some more of the great apps that are out there for literacy.
Hi Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteReadiris and ClaroPDF were my two favourite. Super easy to learn and very practical. I felt like I could teach my students a couple of times and then they could be independent. I had training with Kurzweil a couple years ago and man was it a pain. On top of that I though I had a handle on it they updated it and changed everything.
