assistive tech software
What software are people using as a general assistive technology tool? I mostly see SOLO and Kurzweil in the districts that I work in. Is anyone using WYNN or Read and Write Gold?

Hi Christine
I like the SOLO suite of software very much. I use the 30 minute training modules that are produced by Don Johnston for training, and I use the xerox documate scanner to digitize the print materials. I use bookshare of course to download books, and that is about it! It is an easy set of software to use.

Christine,
Ruston Hurley's presentation at FETC included Newsela which allows you to modify lexile levels of a
document in much the same way you can using Achieve3000.

For districts using Google Apps for Education, there are accessibility apps that you can purchase that lay on top of the Docs interface (this is in addition to the accessibility features that are available based on your operating system and actual device (HP, Lenovo, Samsung, etc.)
Read and Write is one, http://www.texthelp.com/north-america/readwriteforgoogle

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
