1. Dragon dictation. Problems- have to have a quiet room for each student. Students have to speak the punctuation as well. Can't hear it back.

2. Speak It. App.

Write the essay first...copy it into the speak program and then listen to it. This would help students who need to hear their work in order to edit it. This app. also assits the students with grammar or spelling because it underlines errors.

Students who have difficulty reading could copy and paste info. into the speak it program and listen to it. This would help them immensely.

Question: Is there a way that you can turn off the wi-fi so kids can't look up the answers?
 * Could type a test into the program and then the speak it app. could be used rather than a reader.

I found this to be a great use of class time. We conversed about the possibilities of the iPad and the limitations. It was stimulating to have time to try different apps. without worrying that I will mess something up. Rob ran a relaxing, fun class.
