1. Teacher Ally provides audio books for parents and educators for students with reading problems or dyslexia.

2. The program focuses exclusively on providing an audio component to reading. There are no other means of representation that are used for the students.

3. This can be used as a supplementary material for students who are struggling with reading in class. Particularly for lower grade levels, this product could help students learning how to read. Additionally, this product would be helpful for children (and adults) with dyslexia or who are visually impaired.

1) This is a web-based aid for students of all ages (K-12th Grade) to practice their spelling, using certain subjects. There are external links provided on the website, all the way the bottom without any eye-catching visuals.

2) It provides visual, tactile and auditory learning tools for students but only within a text-based framework. English is the only language available. Those bastards.

3) This technology is best used for students who struggle with spelling and require repetition. In addition, it is also more useful for spelling or English lessons or ELL students rather than as an applied lesson. It is quite useful for after-class individual practice by students at home. Its usage and applicability during school hours would be far more limited.

Side Notes: Apparently there are Yellow Words, which are different from other colored words. Edan says she can Alphabetize. Can you?

1) Algebra Touch is a tablet app for learning algebra(surprise!). It focuses on algebra basics and manipulating numbers and equations. Mostly the user moves/eliminates terms and numbers based on principles of algebra.

2) The app can be downloaded in different languages, but cannot be changed once downloaded. There is no audio portion, but it is compensated for in that it gives help instructions with interactive visuals. Text is very large and language used is accessible for all.

3) This could be used in the classroom with students that need basic remedial help. It could also be used for review of one of the concepts in a basic form before starting a class assignment that is more in-depth.

3) The teacher can use this website to flip the classroom so, that students can use the videos as a foundation for the lesson. The teacher can also use the website in the classroom to provide options for differentiation of materials. This can also be a tool for parents to gain further knowledge on children, technology, and education.

1. The program provides multiple interactive simulations for various science and math concepts.

2. In addition to providing information visually, this program allows the user to interact with simulation to different degrees. It provides multiple ways to visually represent data, including bar graphs, pie graphs, etc. While visual options such as animation and graphs are provided, there is no auditory or tactile component to this program.

The program is offered in 33 other languages besides English. While the text is static, there are no modifications accessible to reformat or increase the size the information.

Once a student has mastered the information, there are no additional links or glossaries for students to continue to expand their knowledge; however, there is a teacher's guide for additional information.

Critical information can be turned on and off depending on preference of information.

3. While this program does not allow differentiation or multiple pathways to learn the material because there is little text and it has no auditory component, it is an excellent resource for visual learners and particularly advantageous for those who do well with experimentation.

1. This program works on developing reading skills for children from pre-k through 5th grade.

It incorporates activities about phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and structural analysis. Different skills are added each grade, and the activities change to match the age of the student.

2. This technology provides both audio and visual representations, but does not provide a text option, or the ability to change the language. The pictures are clear, but don't seem to align with the words they are meant to represent. The videos and animations don't add any content, and are just filler to make it look pretty. There are no opportunities to extend knowledge, though there are minimal differentiation among pathways to access learning. The website is confusing to navigate, difficult to understand, and offers very limited student control of learning.

3. This could be used as homework and practice, but not the sole means to teach the lesson. It does allow the students to move forward at their own speed.

1. Quizlet is an online flashcard program. Teachers create flashcards for concepts, vocabulary, etc. There are multiple ways to engage with the flashcards - "Learn" provides you with the word or definition and you must free-response type in the opposing side of the flashcard. "Speller" gives you an audio of the word and the definition and you must correctly spell the word. "Test" provides a variety of free-response, multiple choice, and true/false questions. "Scatter" is a timed game that asks students to match words with their definition. Finally, "Race" is another game where students type in the word as definitions scroll by on the screen.

2. This online program allows students to interact with vocabulary words through audio (the "Speller" program), visual, and kinetic ("Scatter" where students must drag words to match with their definitions). The program is also available in many different languages.

3. This technology is useful for differentiating learning for students because it allows students to control how they study vocabulary words. The inclusion of the games "Race" and "Scatter" could be more engaging for students who enjoy a competitive atmosphere and the "Test" function allows students to mimic test conditions. Additionally, the program tracks a student's progress and provides them with reports which allows students to be aware of their progress and practice terms they are struggling with. The program also has a "Scoreboard" which can tap into a student's need for competition as a motivator.
