Clicker 5/Cloze Pro

Before class, I experimented a bit with the Cloze Pro demo disk. I also found learninggrids.com to have a great bank of activities from all content areas. I found that actiivites could easily be tailored for students of all needs and levels. I thought it was going to be mainly an elementary program, but I thought of ways to incorporate this to courses at the high school level. Just exposing such programs to students with reading and writing difficulties allows them to experiment with terms and pictures that match and it may give them a way to find some success in class.

The Learning Grids website was helpful to us tonight as well Paula. We decided to go to this website to give us some ideas as to what we might like to do with our project and it helped us come up with an outline of what we wanted to do for our ebook and how to turn this ebook into the writing grid. Thanks for the tip on the website.

Really enjoyed your presentation, Paula & Ian.
I especially liked that you included details of the different technology that was used over the years to help support Ben w/ his communication. Interesting to note the gradual progression to the more sophisticated AT he's using now!
