Assistive Technology

I was surprised at the many helpful tools within Windows that are at our disposal. Again, I learned about things that have been within my reach this entire time without me knowing. I had ventured into the tools before using the Narrator, however, I did not realize how useful they can be to people everyday. The Narrator can be used for students and parents at home if their is a need and this information we can pass on so that students can use these tools and gain more insight into what is required of them at school and in life. With public libraries within reach of some of the students a home computer does have to be an essential tool when there is public access. There are tools and information out there that carry no expense and this is the kind of information that will also help students be successful with their education. As for the creation of the PowerPoint it will be forever embedded in my mind how we can use these tools to help students within a class room.

  1. I am glad that you posted a reflection after every project. However, you forgot to link your project to each reflection. Let me know if you have problem to do so.

  2. Thank you for your support. I was having some difficulties but I think I have worked them out. Also, I think I misunderstood an instruction. I thought it said to link it at the end so that is what I was trying to do and when I was not successful with that I moved on and linked them through a gadget. However, I got your message regarding this and I am working on that now.
