App Heaven

I attended the Closing the Gap workshop today entitled, "iPod touch, iPhone and iPad as Assisitve Technology: From AAC to Planning tool.  We were presented with a wealth of information that will take me some time to continue to experiment with, learn, and use with the students that I work with.  There are over 300,000 apps that have been developed for these devices for a wide variety of purposes.  I have selected a few to post so that you may investigate which would be useful to you and/or your students:

• Picatello - An app for the iPod Touch and iPhone that can enable the user to create photo albums and books that "talk".  These could be used to create social stories, schedules, or narratives as a few examples. $14.99 though iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pictello/id397858008?mt=8
