Day 9

On the weekend I watched two YouTube video's on our Professor's blog. One was called Low Tech AT for Handwriting, and the other was called Pencil Grip, Positioning, and Handwriting. I especially liked the Low Tech AT video, as I was unaware just how many different tools there were. We have probably about 6 different kinds at our school. I also used my iPod to search for different YouTube video's for our Writing Process assignment. I found a few great ones, which I posted to our groups blog. I also found another Gadget that I like, you can see it at the top of my gadgets list, called Reading Tip of the Day. Yesterday, for our Writing Process assignment, I used my iPod yet another way. I recorded my Speech Language Pathologist friend talking about her job at LDANS and how they assist students who have trouble with writing. She talks about low, mid and high tech options. I will be posting it on our Writing Process blog page once I figure out how! I downloaded a free app called What's the Difference that I really like. You have to find the differences between two pictures that are almost identical. You can play a few different ways.
Survival – Find all five difference before time winds down. The first stage starts at 60-seconds, and the clock continues to get shorter and shorter as you progress
Challenge - See how many levels you can beat in 90-seconds
Practice - Un-timed practice (But where’s the fun in that?)
