Day 6

On the weekend I watched the rest of the Ellumint Live recordings. I find seeing so many apps 'in action' extremely helpful, which is obviously the key. We get to 'test them out' so to speak before we buy them. I really like the Fluid 2 app. As i was watching it, I noticed in the discussion that someone mentioned the app Pockey Pond was very similar, and free. I downloaded it and love it! I find myself playing with it every once in awhile :) I can see how it would be very calming and engaging. I liked the reading a-z app, but have not been able to find it. perhaps I got the name wrong?I found the Proloquo2Go very cool as well. My favourite so far has to be Speech Tutor. Since I tech aa phonetics based reading programs, we have different mouth movements and names for them that we teach the students. We aalso use mirrors and mouth pictures to show these movements. This app would be very helpful in our program for the visual learners. I also enjoyed the Chronological Age Calculator and I downloaded it as we do testing on the students every year to ensure they are gaining skills and we are essentially doing our job. We always have to calculate their chronological age so this app would be really handy during our assessment week. I wanted to add something to my blog, and after much YouTube searching, I found how to do it. I have added a Library of the books I am currently reading or have read recently, or just really liked, so that others can take a look :)
