Version 3.2.18

Bug fixes and general improvements.

Probably not the fairest review...

I just got this ten minutes ago, but I want to say how good it is. I also got another translator where most features are paid for by subscription (which I probably won't do because I don't travel), but this Microsoft app is totally free and no ads or in app purchases, including the camera scan option!! I can't say much else because I just got it, but from what I've seen, it's terrific. And I previously had another app that also had limited translations and so on...
The thing I find annoying (and yet I understand) is the Monthly part of subscriptions. I'm fine to pay just once like seven dollars or whatever, but the fact that it costs monthly (even when you don't use it and its hard to unsubscribe) is what makes me avoid it. At the same time I get it, they got to make money to improve translation. I would if I used it more... but this one is fine because its free and Microsoft can and does afford it. If they can't you could switch to Google but I don't like it as much...

Issues with Some Languages, and Multiple Missing

Whenever I translate to and from Hebrew (true example), the punctuation gets completely messed up. Oftentimes I'll hit the double arrows button to translate the results back to English to check. Whenever this happens (and this issue has improved some over time with updates), if there was a period at the end, one magically appears at the beginning as well, and so on with question marks, exclamation points, etc. (though not with commas). Also, several words in both Hebrew and other languages aren't recognized and make radical transformations, including both common and proper nouns. In one incident, I repeatedly tried to translate a sentence containing "Galilee" (a region in northern Israel), and when I checked, "Galilee" had become "the cylinder!" I tried over and over with the same results. These were not the only times there was a glitch in the system, leading me to distrust Microsoft Translator with languages other than the Romance Languages (Spanish, French, etc.), with which I encountered much less error.

Variable translation-speed could be improved dramatically...

...by giving a choice of four playback icons, (always visible), each with a number indicating its speed, so users would gain precise control over the audio playback of each tap - from "Normal-4", "Slow-3", "Slower-2" to "Slowest-1". We CAN be trusted with making this decision for ourselves... really.

The current auto-slowing with each tap, is better than nothing, but the lack of control is so annoying, as to cause many of us to just keep that feature turned OFF, most of the time. (Oh... and BTW... with that switch being in Settings, it certainly isn't quickly or readily available.) But, on the plus side, by implementing this suggestion, NO disable switch would be needed, anymore.

Description

After we produced our wheel of iPad Apps for Learners with Dyslexia / Reading and Writing Difficulties, we received regular requests for a similar wheel for tablets and smartphones that use the Android operating system. IPads are used much more frequently than Android devices in schools, but over the past few years some schools have started to allow the use of Android tablets and many parents have been buying them for home use. More educational apps are now available for Android tablets and smartphones. Android apps can also be used on some Chromebooks.

The first version of our Android Apps for Learners with Dyslexia / Reading and Writing Difficulties was created in October 2015. It has been updated regularly since then. Over the past four years it has been downloaded over 10,000 times.

The latest version (1.4) keeps the same broad categories as previous versions, but the following apps have been removed, either because they are no longer available for Android devices, or because other apps proved significantly more useful for people with reading and writing difficulties: Read Me Stories, Easy Text to Speech, KNFB Reader, Dictus and Swype. Six apps have been added: Google Text to Speech, ClaroSpeak, Envision AI, Eye Games Dyslexia, Easy Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Aid, and Mindly. Icons and links for other apps have been updated, as required.

Not a big fan

My wife died in my arms as my child pointed at me saying it's all your fault. My mother brutally attacked me when I was 7 because stole her opioids, she over dosed 2 weeks later. I've 7 dogs and they've all ran away. Alas, I have never been more disappointed in my life. The fact that this can be considered food is beyond me. It tastes like how hospitals smell. If you were to serve this to starving children in Nepal, they would probably break down crying. On my death bed I will warn my family to never eat this pizza again. My life has been ruined by this abysmal excuse for Italian food. If you told an Italian person that this was pizza, he would pull a woah vickey and pretend to be black to escape the shame of being associated with this dumpster fire. I wouldn't feed this to my slave. The poor factory workers that make these pizzas, they'll probably develop growths on their hands from touching what is virtually cancer. My cat smelled it and is now convulsing and having a seizure on the floor.

Thanks Edpuzzle, Just thanks a lot

In the time it took for it to load after switching to fullscreen, I started a business. I became extremely successful and started a charity foundation. As I walked home from work one day I get a call and find out my wife died in a train derailment. They couldn't even recover the body. As I broke the news to my kids, I looked out the window of my 10th story penthouse as I contemplated committing. In the next year my new girlfriend left me for another man, and my parents divorced. My company filed for bankruptcy, and I was left with nothing. Then, as I sat upon my deathbed, I wondered, how would life have gone differently... what could I have done differently? Was I truly a good person? As I questioned my entire existence, I looked at my phone... edpuzzle had finally loaded... then my phone crashed.

I hate this app.

This app makes me want to purchase a bazooka and blow myself up everytime a teacher assigns this as the work for the day. It doesn't let you move forward or go at your own pace for anything and it teaches me literally NOTHING. the rewatch button doesn't even go back to the part I wanted to rewatch it goes back like .5 seconds and the questions are never in the right spot so they usually cut off the teacher as soon as they are trying to tell us the answer. I use edpuzzles in almost every single class and even my favorite class which I thought was free from edpuzzles just started using it last week. I'm convinced any teacher who assigns edpuzzles has caught some disease from the app which convinces the teacher that is teaches the students something valuable, because in reality it teaches us nothing at all. Edpuzzle is making teachers halucinate and sucking the life out of all of us fellow students.

I enjoyed exploring this app because there were many different languages to choose from and ways to get your message across. I am able to type in english and have it translated, speak to the phone in english and have what I spoke translated, and the app had preset sentences in the settings. These preset sentences were in categories such as: essentials, travel and directions, lodging, dining, time/date/numbers, technology, health, and emergency. Someone who is using this app frequently can even save the presets in their favorites so they do not have to go find it every time. I think this would be a great tool in a classroom where there is a language gap between two students, two teachers, or a teacher and a student.

Nouns

I explored the videos in the ELA section. There are 19 videos on nouns. Specifically, I watched the Common and Proper Nouns video. There are 7 stopping points within the video that quiz you. This is a good way for students to check-in and see if they are understanding the material.

I looked at the Actively Learn website. This website was really interesting because it has questions that go with it already. I was thinking about ELA resource students and how some of them are a grade level or two below the rest of the class. This would be a great way to differentiate instruction. - Michelle

I actually use edpuzzle a lot for my students. Edpuzzle is an interactive and fun way to teach something that might otherwise be considered to be "boring." I explored the features used to track a students' progress, which are especially useful when trying to keep an eye on students with 504/IEP plans. -Nicole Tejada

# data[].attributes.body
At first, I thought this was going to be just an imitation of Jamboard. It's very similar, but I like this tool a lot more. Whereas Jamboard can be somewhat limiting in some of the activities you do, I like that Whiteboard is able to create online manipulatives and you can upload your own worksheet. I also like that this tool not only gives each student his or her own whiteboard, but I like that only the student can access theirs and can't hop around to someone else's. Based on past experience, I've found that students will be assigned their own whiteboard to work on, but either will unintentionally edit someone else's board, or copy someone else's work. Whiteboard troubleshoots all these issues.

# data[].attributes.body
This website seems like a great way to track students comprehension. Most of the time I show a video on my computer but am not sure which students really watched it. If this website is used then I can see specifically who needs more clarification. This is also great when students are on all different levels because you can assign a video specific to them. -Michelle

SeeSaw seems like a great app to use especially for families who have students in lower elementary school. Teachers can post updates about the class and make announcements that can be blasted to everyone but then individual parents can respond privately to the teacher. I like that the teacher can post/send out pictures of what students are doing throughout the day so parents feel involved. Aside from parental involvement, I liked the activities that were already on SeeSaw. There were a lot of cute ones for Spring and even teaching healthy habits. The app is also a great way to keep assignments organized since it can be linked to Google Classroom.

This webtool is foreign to me, but it seems to be very useful when trying to promote collaboration with minimal pressure. I tend to call students up to the board to write, and that can be stressful for my students with learning disabilities, physical movement limitations, and below average motor skills. With this webtool, these students would be able to participate and show their work on the board without causing too much stress to them. I only worry that there are little forms of controlling/monitoring the whiteboard on my end, which could allow students (especially my 7th grade boys) to display some inappropriate language or drawings. -Nicole Tejada

# data[].attributes.body
I explored this one as well. I agree with Tara because I also like I can send out assignments for students to complete. I like how organized the site was and how it pinpoints what teaching points a student may be missing.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed this app on my phone when I first got it but never looked in to it. Looking around, it reminds me of snapchat with filters and effects. It seems like a simple way to create videos and pictures without being the standard picture or video off of your phone. This could be fun for students if they make a video about a project they made and then downloaded it to Google Classroom for the class to see. - Michelle

# data[].attributes.body
A language barrier can be one of the main things that keeps a student from achieving success within a classroom. There are many students that fall behind because there is a lack of communication between them and the teacher, as well as them and their peers. This app can help combat this issue and bridge that gap, and can be readily available at any moment of need. - Nicole Tejada

# data[].attributes.body
This website was really interesting in the wide range of resources and texts students can have access to. I find that some resources will provide texts, but either they you can't access the whole thing, or it won't provide interesting or relevant resources. There's so much information on all different topics and it can be differentiated for a variety of grade and ability levels. Especially in an inclusion classroom, it can be difficult trying to include students who may be unable to understand the text or complete the questions. With this resource, all students can learn about the same topic and collaborate with one another without feeling like some are struggling to keep up.

# data[].attributes.body
At first, I seemed a bit overwhelmed by all of the icons. On the right side, there were many "Gizmos." I like these features because no matter what grade you teach you can use it in some capacity. Oftentimes teachers will either stay in a grade level for several years or be moved around. If you are moved, you will know a great resource that is compatible for all grades.

# data[].attributes.body
Actively Learn seems like a great resource for teachers to use to get inspiration on how to teach certain topics. I saw a lot of great material and discussion questions. It also provides the ability to annotate and define words. I like that there are a lot of articles and short stories which allows me to pick more diverse pieces of work. It's also great that the website breaks down texts by Lexile level and allows you to insert questions.

This app seems like a simplified, user friendly version of Imovie. It could probably be useful in settings where students have to complete/create a visual project or assignment. With the many different options and settings, it could probably be switched to accommodate learners of all levels. -Nicole Tejada

This app would work so well with where I work now. Almost all of the IEP meetings either I sit there or the parent sits there not understanding each other. I speak to the case manager who then speaks to the parent as the translator. I wonder if we used this app then the parent would be reading it at the same time I speak it. Also, sometimes when things get translated it's not how I intended to come across or the message gets changed a little. - Michelle

I had a lot of fun creating this book. I think students would have a wonderful time making stories and seeing it come to life as a book. I liked that there is an option to have to book read to the reader. I was able to look up different pictures through google, add my own, or create a picture using shapes. The book is shareable via a link so the students can post their books on Google Classroom and everyone can take turns reading and commenting. I played around with this site and create a book.

Whiteboard.chat is a great resource to use that allows for creativity and accessibility. Students can collaborate with the teacher and others and also upload their own work. I like that students can be creative with it and choose the color of the pen, how they want to set up their "whiteboard" and insert a lot of other fun gizmos. If a student is away from school, they can still interact and be involved in real time with the class.

After watching the Ed Puzzle tutorial, I was so happy that I had already had an account made. I was told of Ed Puzzle before in a Professional Development and made an account but never used it. I am so happy to have watched the tutorial because prior to watching it, I had explored the resources on Ed Puzzle but was not crazy about using it in my classroom because I didn't find it catered to the age and ability I taught. After watching the video, I learned I can take an entire video, cut it, add my own voice to it, put up notes and my own questions and personalize it for my students. I am teaching a Civics class in conjunction with also teaching World and US History and I plan on making a Civics Ed Puzzle and trying it out in my lesson. I am very excited to try this in my class. - Hayley Wright

There are many cool features on this app such as scanning barcodes, money, or colors. You can point to objects around you and the app will tell you what they are. -Alyssa Evanik

AI is a great app to help those with specific needs such a visual impairments in several different ways. I especially like the color palette that allows those that can't see specific color. By holding up your phone with the camera facing an object it reads aloud the color.

This app was very interesting to use. I took a picture of a written paragraph and I was able to choose which language I wanted to translated it to. The app wrote over the original picture in the translated language. This could be very helpful for ELL students who do not understand English. This could also help a teacher translate student's work if it is in a different language. -Alyssa Evanik

This app is useful for little clips either made by the teacher for mini lessons. It can be easily adjusted and edited while making. Students can also create a video clip as an assignment to demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.

I had fun looking at this app.  I thought the currency was interesting and could be very helpful for a visually impaired person.  It reminded me of the movie Dare Devil where he folds the different denominations of money different ways to know what they are.  If he had this app he would not need to do that.

This is such a great tool for learners. Last year I had students create their own books and they really enjoyed this activity. It was part of their spring break work and they shared aloud their books after.

EdPuzzle is a great tool for interactive learning in the classroom. Whether you are creating your own questions embedded in videos or using one from the website. My students enjoy the videos and it allows pauses throughout the videos to ask students questions and allow for class discussions.

Wow I love this! Working with Autistic students, not all of the information they learned at school gets conveyed at home. It could be a simple "my day was good" and then the parents don't get to see what they are learning until work comes home or it gets discussed at parent teacher conferences. We just had our second parent teacher conferences and a lot of the parents were really shocked at what their students were capable of doing, writing, creating, ect. This app allows for parents to see what their child is doing. They also get to see how their child thinks. That is an amazing bonus as a teacher because not every student learns the same, but if my student can show me understanding and comprehension of the lesson in their own way, it allows for me to see how they process the information given and how they understand things in their minds. This should be used in many classrooms, I think that this app is great and something I would bring to my administration because it seems like such a great way to understand how our students learn and allow for the students to express how they learn best. It also allows for that family connection that gives them a first hand view of all their child achieves. - Hayley Wright

I had a lot of fun using this app with a classmate. At first we were stuck for a few minutes trying to figure out how to make it work, but we were playing around with different languages. Speaking a few different languages, we were testing how well it translated things. This is really useful for ELL students, that speak in all different languages.

I thought that was going to be helpful to translate Arabic to English, since I have a student who's parents only speak Arabic, but it would not translate.  It would do the reserve.  However, I can see how this will be helpful if you visit another country or have a student who speaks another language.

SeeSaw appears as a solid alternative to google classroom. I appreciated SeeSaw's notification system. One of the biggest problems I have with my students and Google Classroom is the frequency in which they are aware of things I post. SeeSaw makes the alerts very noticeable. Part of the reason why it is so noticeable is that the app is designed in a way that is very similar to social media, which will help maintain student attention. I also appreciated the app's approval and feedback ability. Approving work before it is submitted is nice, though the feedback ability is nothing new compared to google classroom.

I cannot wait to try this in the classroom! this is bringing presentations to a whole new level. Interactive presentations are always awesome for content heavy days.

We made a book about kindergarten. It was very fun to create a book using pictures, audio, and text. We were able to use the text and match it with audio to give both features a try. This is something that can be used in the classroom by both the teacher and student. The teacher could create a book for the class but also students can create their own book as a class project. It provides students  with different options for accessibility.

I really liked exploring ThingLink and I definitely will use this in my classroom. I found a virtual tour of a museum in Vermont all about the Underground Railroad. You can move throughout the museum and click on the numbers to read about the pieces. This will be a fun, interactive way for students to learn Social Studies. I will be using this in my resource classroom in the future and I think my students will love it! -Alyssa Evanik

Wow, wow, wow, this is truly amazing for the visually impaired community. The ability to describe a person by age, emotion and dress was crazy to me. The app was so accurate and helpful in that it offered tabs for everything you could think you would need help with if you were visually impaired. The currency, knowing what money you are paying for your groceries with. The scene, knowing what the room you are in look like. I could not stop saying wow or how cool when watching the video and this is another app I will bring up to my administration because it is amazing for this community. - Hayley Wright

These are my thoughts on a few apps from our tech lab today!

Create a new document and edit with others at the same time -- from your computer, phone or tablet. Get stuff done with or without an internet connection. Use Docs to edit Word files. Free from Google.

The purpose of Envision AI is to have an Android-friendly version of "Seeing AI". The app has similar features such as "describe scene", "identify people" and "identify colors". Unfortunately, the app struggles in identifying all of these, taking an extended period of time to identify anything, when it actually does. When objects or scenes are identified, the descriptions are typically vague. Unfortunately, this made it difficult to truly access the application, but useful possibilities still exist. The app can obviously help the seeing impaired, but can have applications in push-in and pull-out classrooms. The app can help students analyze and help describe images or objects if they have trouble expressing themselves.

I enjoyed exploring Whiteboard.chat, there were many different features that made the "whiteboard" fun. I was able to animate text and pictures by making them move or change colors. I like the magic draw tool where you can draw something and it will come up with images close to what you drew. You also can hand write something and it will write it in different fonts. This can be a fun way for students to answer questions or post their answers. They can be creative with what they make and how they respond. -Alyssa Evanik

This seemed confusing at first but after exploring it and trying different things it became easier to navigate. I like that you can drop live worksheets on the white board. It is nice to be able to manage the whiteboards and if wanted to showcase one students board. It seemed difficult to use on a iphone and easier on the computer. I would like to try it on ipads because that is something that we have in the classroom.

Using Book creator in unique ways can really enhance engagement in the classroom.  Instead of creating a personalized story, I used the book creator to make a comic book style set of notes for the the unit.  Students can create their own comic books to show show their notes in their own unique way.

This was a great tool to play around with.  I think that I could use this for my students if I was the one doing the computer work or if I did this with their art work for a book.

Edpuzzle is one of my favorite tools to use in the classroom. Before using Edpuzzle, videos I would have my students watch at home, would often go unwatched. With Edpuzzle, I can make sure my students watch. Aside from that, it can help check for understanding throughout the video at pivotal points. Furthermore, I can tailor the questions to the ability and skills of my students.

I think this is a great resource that allows for you to cater to your learners by grade level, lexile, the standards you are looking to teach, the grade and the curriculum. I would like to explore the website more and see how it could help me as a teacher. - Hayley Wright

Seeing AI

The app is so much fun. At the beginning, it was a little confusing, but it slowly became comfortable as I explored and was able to play around with different languages. The translations to different languages are amazing. It can be very handy to English Language Learners. It is a great tool for homework. Lucy

Clips

This app is very user-friendly for making MP4 videos. Some apps are incompatible with Mac but I was able to navigate comfortably with my macbook. Visuals are one of the requirements for special education students and this comes very handy. Both teachers and students can use it.  It is a great tool to use for lesson differentiation.

Microsoft Translator

This app can be used by practically anyone. This app is a replacement for the need to translate. I have a teacher's aide who often translates what i am saying to my ELL students but with this app, that problem is solved. It can also be used to communicate with parents during parent-teacher conferencing. I really enjoyed the app.

See saw

This app can be used to track student progress with assignments. The teacher can post the assignment and the student can complete it right on the website and receive immediate feedback. It even flags areas of student strength and weaknesses, so the teacher can plan the next lesson accordingly. Great app

Web Tool: Book Creator

This app allows you to create books with selective design features. You can add as many pictures as you want. You can even embed audio or videos.  The page design is just like you would do in “Pages” where you can select the design of your choice for each page in the book. It can be used by both students and teachers and can be great for portfolios.

Edpuzzle

This is a great web tool for homework. It allows the student to access the material in different ways. It allows the teacher to embed test of understanding questions and remove the ads that often interfere with YouTube videos. It allows the teacher to see all the student progress from one window and to reset the assignment for particular students according to the need. The possibilities with Edpuzzle are unlimited. I love it.

ThingLink allows you to visit various resource centers of your choice and navigate the sites by a click of the button. You can look for teaching resources for your class and click on the different buttons to access them. It is very interactive and can be used for small groups and large group interactive fun activities. It is a tool that can make homework easier.

Gizmo Explore Learning

Gizmos are online simulations that teachers can use to excite curiosity and invite interaction. It is very engaging with over 400 Gizmos in an accessible library covering topics and concepts in STEM activities for grades 3-12. Gizmos is just like real life helping students to dig deeper into the subjects and really understand challenging concepts in science.

Whiteboard.chat

Any teacher can use this for any subject and any grade level including preschool. This app, if used, can improve teacher's efficiency and creativity. It can also be used for teamwork and online meetings.

Actively Learn

Actively Learn teaches teachers how to prepare any lesson in any topic. It has access to unlimited lesson materials and discussion questions. It makes it possible to color code the reading passage and even add notes. It is a whole library where teachers can make their choices of what works best for their particular unique classrooms. It allows the teacher to scaffold the lesson according to the needs of their students. I really enjoyed it.
