Oh how Sunday has changed!
On the technology front I acquired an ipod nano yesterday. Excellent device for mucic or audio files such as ebooks but too small a screen for effective video. Plus there are no apps, what's up with that.
As for the ASD webinar, it was easy to see the potential for growth and success. Improvements in socialization, increased engagement, more independent learning and even reducing anxiety (like having the letters asd line up next to each other on the keyboard) are all exciting.
In the interest of brevity I will only discuss the apps which have not yet been considered (Pictello, really?).
Visual timer is neat becauce it can also run in the background while easing anxiety.
All Done is a nice checklist organizer.
Pocket Pond is soothing.
