Playing With A Full Deck: Using AT To Study Vocabulary


Hosted by: Jamie Martin, AT Specialist


Date & Time: 12pm-1pm EST; January 8, 2021


Description: In old school times, learning vocabulary involved index cards, markers, and images cut from old magazines. Students proudly carried their color-coded vocabulary decks, either in their pockets or tucked away in their Trapper Keepers. Unfortunately, those decks were not accessible to students with learning disabilities. If they had difficulty reading the text themselves, they had to rely on others for help. Today, there are many options for digital vocabulary study that students can access independently. This webinar will explore a number of tools that can be used to build vocabulary, including Read&Write for Google Chrome (Chrome extension), Inspiration Maps (iPad app), Flashcards Deluxe (iPad app), and Rewordify (web app). With these assistive technology tools, vocabulary study can go way beyond the traditional flashcard deck.
