As a an educator working with students espceically high school students who are expereincing significant lags in literacy development and whose interest in school has reached an allow time low due to a lack of school success I can see them totally awed and inspired by this technology.

I can't even list all the ideas I have for something like this. (A self-scoring card game was my first thought.) In one of Dr. Light's studies of kids' designs for AAC, the kids wanted "transformable" devices. This is one way to create a re-configurable AAC system. Why does an AAC system have to be one device? Why not a collection of networked devices? BTW: How are you embedding TED Talks into your posts? Is that something you need to have a paid account with Wordpress to do?

I watched the TED talk earlier today, after I saw Karen Janowski's tweet including the link. I'm starting to realize that I can learn from others on twitter. Siftables look so cool!
