The majority of today's class was dedicated to group presentations of compensatory software. Our Natural Reader blog is described and linked in an earlier post, others:
My Study Bar:
A set of applications assembled into a single resource designed to support learners with literacy related difficulties. Best of all, it's FREE!
Kurzweil 3000:
If we can resign ourselves to the "You get what you pay for" mind-set, this program is worth the gold you have to shell out to access it! I loved the accurate translation options (for a limited amount of languages); the option of creating you own picture dictionary; ability to voice record right in the program; and create bubble notes to increase engagement along the way (questions).
WYNN:
This program is quite similar to Kurzweil. The rotating toolbar is a convenient feature.
Read & Write Gold:
Additional software with support tools for reading and writing. Not as expensive as Kurzweil or Wynn- not free like My Study Bar and Natural Reader.
FANTASTIC Blog! ...lots of great info here
