The only things that need to be said are that Karen Janowski is my hero for always linking things like this and that the point of convergence going on in my life is way too much.

Do you have enough books? Would you like some more? How about links out to over a thousand books? Here is a books launcher that was presented as part of the ISAAC 2008 pre-conference presentation I collaborated on with Caroline Ramsey Musselwhite titled, Writing Books for Beginning Readers . . . and Using Them to Support Real Reading.
Download the accessible-books-launcher in PDF Format
Link to a Two Switch Step Scan Capable Online Version
If you enjoy this resource and have other book websites, please email them to me at samuel.sennott@gmail.com.
As I am writing this post, I am at ISAAC at a presentation by Carole Goossens and it is so confirming to see her presenting on this same concept of using the launcher. There really is something to using this framework. While this particular launcher is meant as a teacher tool, look for big releases for this school year that are focused on independent student use.

There is a great deal to share here in the coming months regarding the Books Please Project and its recent transformations. That being said, this project is not just about the US and English, but about individuals from all around the world. Check out the Italian, English, and Arabic Versions.

PRC
Did you know that you can freely download the Prentke Romich Company’s Picture set? Wow! That is a powerful tool to use and a powerful tool to share with parents and teachers.
Here is the info and links from the Prentke Romich Downloads section of their website. http://www.prentrom.com/downloads
- Download the current PRC icons. These icons are the same for all PRC devices. They are available in BMP, GIF, and JPEG format and contained within a single ZIP file. If you need an icon for a device or for use in a PC, then use the bitmap (bmp) file. MAC users will need to use the gif or jpeg files. The files include a page of instructions for using the PRC icons.
- Hits: 347
-These icons are used in their terrific line up of Augmentative and Alternative Communication Devices that include:
Springboard Lite, Vantage, Vanguard, Pathfinder, Eco-14
You can import all 3,385 pictures into your iPhoto library. Give them a keyword tag of PRC and then make an album. Now in MS Word 2008, they can be used easily by just linking to the iPhoto folder. Plus that way the set can be searched by title for the desired icon. When you download the zipped file you get the BMP, GIF, and JPEG formatted icons organized mostly by letters A to Z. Once they are in one folder in iPhoto, dumping them back into one folder on your desktop or a flash drive may be helpful to have them in one searchable folder for varying applications/ operating systems that do not connect as easily to iPhoto as MS Word 2008 for Mac does. That being said, two posts I have created previously relate to this resource:
- Microsoft Word and Slater Software’s Free Online Symbol Resource-Video Podcast
- Keywords in iPhoto ‘08 for Organizing Video

Check out another generous offering by Byron Wilkes of Learning Magic Inc. The exchange is filled with gems like this. The AEX or Intellitools Activity Exchange can be found at: http://aex.intellitools.com
I saw the exchange was acting up, so here is the direct links to the resource on the Learning Magic Site.
Hoover’s New Wheels
 enlarge image |
This activity is based upon a true story about a dog named Hoover who unfortunately suffered a broken back in a ‘freak accident’. Paralyzed in the hind portion of his body, he was forced to hop along on his front legs. Well that was true until a colleague of mine and I were able to fit him with some “new wheels”. This activity helps illustrate that being in a wheelchair is not that limiting. Hoover has been an inspiration to many of us who know him. Even when he hopped along and dragged his legs behind him he continued to be happy and thrived in his environment. But now with his new wheels he is able to chase the pesky squirrels that live in his yard again. |
|
Note: There is a companion activity in the Goodies section entitled “Hoover’s Newest Wheelchair”, which documents a later upgrade to a newer wheelchair as well. The activity is created in one of the writing templates from our “The Writing Bin” CD. On the CD there are six unique templates which allow you to create activities that will provide both reading and writing opportunities for your students. There are also over thirty finished activities available on the CD for your use. |
|
This activity was built in Classroom Suite v. 3.2. The activity can be run on the ITAN Player. But IntelliPics Studio 3® is needed to perform data capture, automatic grading and portfolio management, as well as any editing or changes to the activity itself. |
| Required Software: IntelliTools Classroom Suite® v. 3.2. |
| Grades 3-5. Curriculum area: Language Arts. File size: 23 MB |
