As an iPhone user, I am always looking for great new apps for my phone for personal use or in the classroom. I often give my phone to my students (I put it on airport mode so I do not get calls, text, etc.) to use for interventions or enrichment activities (flashcards, use of a timer, etc.). I am excited to download the apps explained in this article.
I think the AustimExpress app would be a great tool to use for one of my student's with autism. Being able to choose emotion icons will help this student be more aware of his feelings and have an outlet to communicate these emotions. Likewise, EyeContactZoo would be beneficial for this same student, as one of his goals is making eye contact. The Dragon Dictation app would be great for many of students who have difficulties writing. I could see using this as a reward for these students when they are demonstrating great effort in writing, which is hard for them.
Although my classroom does not have iPads or iTouches for my students, I am very interested in checking out these apps to add to my phone to use in my classroom. Time to download.... :)
Thanks for sharing this! I also am always looking for new apps I can use in the classroom. It would be great if I had iPads or iTouches for all of my students to use, but even so I really enjoyed learning about some of these apps. I really like how the iSpeech app allows parents to be involved with their children's progress, along with teachers. Great article!
