In conclusion, I think all of these programs and games are beneficial to students in the classroom, however some programs students like better and some often find a program which works better for them. Each student has their own needs and need different programs.

Audible and books on ipad have been the most beneficial with students I have worked with, as they often get distracted while reading or can't keep their focus. Their reading speed has improved with practice however they still prefer listening to the books in order to take notes for their english class.

Having some sort of to do list so the students stay organised, some use the program I recommend some time to write it down and some type in on their phones. However I always encourage them to stay organised with their tasks. Focus keeper also helps with student who have ADHD keep focused, I've seen 2 very successful cases, however there have been some cases where students get overwhelmed and distracted by the time.

Overall I think technology could really help and make a difference with learning and we should keep encouraging new ways for students to learn and what works for them.

Activities/games which can help with Processing speed:
1. Typing Activities (or just typing more)
Practicing and mastering typing, instead of improving on handwriting would be more beneficial for the students processing speed as they will be using this skill a lot more in life. Typing helps with Productivity, its saves time once the skill is mastered, improves on focus and once practiced enough the students processing speed will increase as well.
Students will be able to get more information on a paper compared to when they are writing
"Given that kids with slow processing speed almost always exhibit problems with written language, it is easy to see how new technologies can directly improve slow processing speed." -  Kulman (2018)

2. Mental Manipulation:
technology can be used to improve visuospatial processing of information, video games which are designed for mental manipulating objects and understanding the connections among different shapes.
Games like Tetris and Lumines can be very helpful.

3. Puzzles:
Puzzels have time and time again proven to be beneficial to students as they help developing and understanding the interrelationship among shapes,visual images and building planning skills. However there are now puzzel games online such as Bad piggies and Toki Tori which are very beneficial in developing these skills.

3. Optical character recognition (OCR) plays an important role in transforming printed materials into digital text files.
These digital files can be very helpful to kids and adults who have trouble reading. That’s because digital text can be used with software programs that support reading in a variety of ways.

Highlighting words, sentences or paragraphs

Speaking words aloud using text-to-speech

Changing the colors and the size of text

Placing digital “bookmarks” that enable users to move around within the text (such as moving directly from the Table of Contents to Chapter Four)
