1.) Dictation

How could you use this in your classroom??? Think about that student who just can't seem to keep up with the written work assigned in your class...did you think of (at least) one?? Why not let them try dictating their work to share their learning and demonstrate their learning?! Try it today!!!

2.) Guided Access

Guided Access helps people with autism or other attention and sensory challenges stay focused on the task (or app) at hand. With Guided Access, a parent, teacher, or therapist can limit an iOS device to stay on one app by disabling the Home button, and even restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen. So wandering taps and gestures won’t distract from learning.
