There are four sections to look through starting from left to right: Audiobooks/Podcasts, Mobile Apps, Famous Icons, and Educational Games. Each of these resources is to help these students in a variety of ways. First, they will be able to listen to new audiobooks spoken by celebrities or authors. Second, they will help them through daily activities (e.g. braille learning apps). Third, they will become connected to past and present icons throughout history. Fourth, they will be able to engage with other students with new online and physical games.]]> 2023-03-12 14:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dmw275/jnt6lwqi9k8k9p68/wish/2513190113 dmw275 https://padlet.com/dmw275/jnt6lwqi9k8k9p68/wish/2513190338 2023-03-12 14:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dmw275/jnt6lwqi9k8k9p68/wish/2513190338 dmw275 https://padlet.com/dmw275/jnt6lwqi9k8k9p68/wish/2513210522 Are you unsure of what you just saw?
