A Pearltree of Free Technology for Teachers

Free creation of questionnaires, surveys, tests and polls! Best iPad Apps for Autism and Asperger's Syndrome | BookRoom Reviews I am the mom of a beautiful and amazing son who just happens to have a diagnosis of High Functioning Autism. A few months ago I read an article on Blogher called ”The iPad a Near-Miracle for my son.” It immediately caught my attention not only because of Shannon’s beautiful writing and story, but because I am always looking for opportunities to help our son succeed. I am blessed to have a small career here as a product reviewer, so I bravely contacted a lovely Apple PR person about my story. Apple was able to generously loan me an iPad for Nolan and I to try. I am so excited that Apple is noticing us and is interested in what we say about Autism. This is a list of the iPad apps that Nolan really enjoyed and that I believe will help him to develop and encourage the skills that he needs to work on. We made a video demonstrating just a few apps that we enjoy. IEP Checklist-Free Hidden Curriculum Kids- Free Autism News Feed- $1.99 iReward Chart- $2.99 Nolan loves this. Social Skills

In just four minutes it shows how Dennis Lamme Jr., a first-grade special education student in Pittsburgh, uses the iPad to learn letters and numbers. His mother says the tablet keeps him from being frustrated; his teacher verifies the tool allows him to stay on task for long stretches of time. Although this scenario is far from typical, it is gaining popularity across the country as more schools and parents are learning how to harness the power of tablets for special education students.

SecuryTIC Casi un 81% de los hogares andaluces con niños tienen acceso a la red y la conexión entre los 10 y los 15 años ha crecido un 44% desde 2006 El consejero de Economía, Innovación, Ciencia y Empleo, José Sánchez Maldonado, ha firmado en Málaga un convenio de colaboración con la Asociación Protégeles por el que ambas entidades colaborarán y desarrollarán actividades conjuntas de sensibilización, formación y educación sobre el uso seguro de internet por parte de los menores. Sánchez Maldonado ha explicado que este acuerdo permitirá a la Administración andaluza “organizar actividades conjuntas sobre protección de los menores en el uso de nuevas tecnologías, fomentando un uso responsable y seguro; colaborar estrechamente en este objetivo con Protégeles; y promover la formación en este tema de técnicos que trabajan en los programas de desarrollo de la sociedad de la información en Andalucía, que después trasladan este conocimiento a los propios ciudadanos”.

Breeding The Quaker Parrot For anyone interested in breeding birds, whether they be a novice or boast years of experience, I think the Quaker is an excellent choice for many reasons. We have found that they are, by far, the easiest of all birds to breed. For one, the cost associated with starting a hobby or business of breeding birds will be considerably less, due to the availability of these birds and their very reasonable purchase price. And unlike some other birds who can be unusually "picky", a Quaker will usually bond quite closely with any mate provided to them---the only minor problem being that to provide a suitable mate, you will almost certainly have to have them surgically sexed or DNA tested to ensure that you do indeed have both a male and a female! Also, Quakers are sexually mature in as little as 12 to 18 months of age, meaning that even if you purchase them quite young and keep them as pets in your home, you won't have long to wait before you have potential parents.
