Today we reviewed Kurzweil 3000:
AMAZING program - INCREDIBLY expensive - prohibitively so! I did enjoy playing with it though. Lots of people had difficulty downloading it though - not me!
With Kurzweil you can download any text and then work with them as Kezi files. Can add dictionaries, convert to audio file, change reading rate, create voice recording, writing support-tons of features!
Good for LD, CAPD, attention, comprehension, auditory memory, short term memory, vocabulary, test prep, and special needs.
We played with Sticky Notes and Bubble Notes - lots of uses for these: referencing other text, indicating important information in the text, questions or quizzes, reminders, indexing, links to other media, illustrating, definitions, further descriptions, etc.
Kurzweil is UDL all the way!
WHAT'S IN YOUR UDL TOOLKIT!
