Welcome!

This blog explores what I am learning through EDUC 5163 Assistive Technology: Access to Literacy, offered through Acadia University.

AT is not IT

Remember: AT is not IT! Training, training, training is needed for students, parents and staff!

My New iPad

It appears that I am very susceptible to the power of suggestion as I am now posting to my blog from a new iPad. I held out for longer than I thought though. It took three whole classes for me to cave :) I'm really looking forward to playing around with this and discovering ways to use it with my sons and, eventually, my class. It's easier to touch type then I thought it would be and the apps I've used so far have been very intuitive to download and use. My 2 year old and 3 month old both enjoyed Baby Piano. :)

A teacher friend of mine has recommended 2 great websites for educational apps that I've added to my link list (Moms With Apps and Apps for Children With Special Needs). As I find some more great apps or websites, I'll do my best to share them here as well.
