AT Resource: Electronic Touch Tablet


In the past few years, electronic touch tablets have been increasingly used in many classrooms. There are many benefits to using these tablets. Students can use these tablets for research, gathering classroom materials, and using many applications I have listed in previous posts. The electronic touch tablets can benefit students with all different styles of learning and disabilities. Students can use apps to complete remedial activities or progress monitoring, voice output communication devices, audible books, word prediction apps, and much more! Some electronic touch tablets include the Apple IPAD, HP touch pad, and kindle. I have used the IPAD in my classroom for my students to access an app called Mobymax. Mobymax is a purchased software application used for students to practice their math and reading skills based on their tested levels. It allows teachers to access reports and monitor students levels. Below is a video of a 4-year old with autism using an IPAD to guide his learning.
