If you need more suggestions, or if you would like me to show you how to implement some of the suggestions above, email me and I would be happy to help! Thanks, Amy// //P.S.

 * __Speech Function on Desktop Computers __
 * The computer will speak any words on the screen when a simple command is entered. This is helpful for students with disabilities.

 * __iPods __
 * Suggested Uses for the two iPods in your classroom:
 * 1) Record a lesson and download onto the iPod for students who need to hear instructions multiple times, or a student who missed school.
 * 2) Record & download vocabulary words onto the iPod for ELL or special education students. Give them a set of cards with the words and definitions and have them listen to the words and definitions while looking at the cards. A picture on the card would be a great way to reinforce the concept.
 * 3) Record or download audiobooks for students with dyslexia.
 * 4) Record spelling words and download to the iPod for students to take spelling tests independently. This would also be great for students who were absent so you don't have to keep repeating the words over and over.
