Tuesday, July 17, 2012: Writing Task

Writing Task Analysis - Making the AT Match - Another task analysis!

 EGAD! STAY TUNED!

Assistive Technology for writing:
  • Solo and Write OutLoud and CoWriter - Word prediction software - strongest word prediction software but needs to be loaded into thaw zone or you can copy info in from the web and save personal dictionaries- Good luck convincing your tech.
  • Classroom Suite
  • Draft Builder (Solo)
  • Inspiritation 8 or Kidspiration - Lower level content skills - writing prompts
  • Clicker 5 - picture cues - visual support - cognitive delays
  • Read Please
  • Fusion Keyboards, Writer + - so derigeur!
  • Writing with Symbols - gives you the structure-cognitive or dev. delay - highly supported writing and reading
  • Dragon Naturally Speaking - 3gigs of ram - $2000 - don't recommend it - difficult to set up
  • Kurzweil or Word Q cdn made-with demo-French and English
  • Cloze Pro
  • Start to Finish books - Don Johnson
  • Ap - ps Typo

Typing versus handwriting - a huge issue especailly with SOME teachers. I don'tnderstand their thought process on this one!
