BLOGGER!

We love http://www.blogger.com/ !
Creating a personal or topic related blog is great way to motivate students to write and use their assistive technology, e.g.., Dragon, WordQ, iPad!
Once set up, students can update via the blogger website OR even more easily; through a familiar program such as MS Word, you can do this in three simple steps:
1) Open MS Word
2) Click the OFFICE BUTTON - NEW - NEW BLOG POST
3) Register your blog - and you're ready to post!
And yes.. there's an app too;) however, website or MS Word access is better!
Hope you enjoyed our first blog ! Karen (kvanden@wihd.org)
