We're going to start using Read Outloud/Write Outloud.  Do you have any resources for me Lorianne?  - Christine

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.
