The most frustrating part of the presentation was not the long wait, but the anxiety that took over me when I had to use the Professor’s Mac laptop. Mac does make me nervous!! It would have been best to try the Apps before today's presentation. Unfortunately, my partners and I do not have IPad. I think it is time for the other tablets creators to update their Apps and keep up with Apple. I would like to know what other tablets (i.e. Blackberry playbook or Samsung) can do to help LD students be successful learners. Many students need to use technology to be engaged in their learning. I need to familiarize myself with the various technological tools (not just Apple) that can help improve my delivery of curricula.
Webinar: New Apps in Action for LD/ Power Point Link
Here is a list of the two Apps I am looking forward to learning more about (based on today’s presentations)
1) Dragon Dictation: I did like the fact that the verbal input will be converted into text. This App can make it easier for students to quickly record their thoughts (recall deficit).
2) Maps: This App is fantastic. I wish I had known about it when I was teaching the five themes of geography (Social Studies). I like the fact that one can quickly view where a building is located and its surroundings.
