There are so many wonderful resources out there for teachers to use and so many knowledgeable teaching professionals. I don`t think that there is any problem with a lack of resources or expertise. I think one of the biggest challenges is having a venue for teachers to share them. That is one of the reasons I enjoyed the webinar so much. I found so many great online resources in an hour. It would have taken me ages to find them on my own, that is, if I could have found them at all.
It is exciting to hear and see programs like Story Builder. Right away I am thinking “oh, this would be great for student X!” It is like that for almost each App. As a teacher it is exciting to find new tools that will help students succeed.
It is amazing to think how many of these Apps can change people’s lives. Due to many reasons some people may never be able to read fluently but these Apps can give them access to text in a way that has never been possible before. Apps like Stanza, Image to Text and Voice Reader to Text to Speech are revolutionary.
