AT Resources

Earlier I provided a variety of websites for AT resources. I have heard many of these websites can be extremely helpful.  I look forward to trying them in my future classroom.

One of my coworkers bought this software and used it for their students to create their own narrative stories.  The colorful clip art, and variety of web creating options inspire the students to write wonderful stories.  This is also a great picture resource that the student is able to draw ideas, as well as present with their final publication. 

Text Aloud: A text-to-speech software that also has a free 30-day trial that can be used in the classroom.  This is can be a fabulous resource that needs to be taken advantage of in any classroom where there are struggling writers.  This can be used during the reviewing and editing steps of the writing process. Below is an advertisement for this tool:

Ginger Software: A grammar and spell check is a crucial assistive technology tool when having students complete a writing assignment.  During the editing process, students can use the free assistant that reads text, checks spelling, rephrases sentences, and also helps coach the writer.  http://www.gingersoftware.com/  Go here and download this free tool now!
