Day 11 Blogging

Todays class consisted of working on our group blog for Written Output. We met in the Irving Centre which was nice and air-conditioned! Here's a photo below of our "opulent classroom"(Wade) thanks to Wade and his iPad with the 360 app!

Since I was not familiar with the different types of assistive technology that could be used to support writing, it was great to explore them and find out where they could be incorporated into the writing process. I didn't actually think that assistive technology could be incorporate so easily into the classroom, i.e. pencil grips and slant board. Wade, Maureen, Lara and I spent the morning researching, compiling our findings and publishing the information into our new fabulous blog which can be accessed at http://writingtaskanalysis.blogspot.ca/ This blog is a great resource that can be used as a reference for supporting students who experience difficulties with the writing process. It contains research information, videos, tutorials, website links and a list of assistive technology and the target areas for the writing process. This blog will be a very useful source that I'm sure I will refer to in the fall. It is also a great way for us to share different resources that we find helpful and think others would too.
