The iPad offers powerful accessibility features for users of all abilities.  Additionally, users can use the Shortcuts app to program their iPad to recognize and respond to specific conditions, such as concentration issues.  Once you provide the Shortcuts app your accessibility options, it will generate a guide of suggested automations that you can set up to make your workflow more personalized.  

More information about using the Accessibility Assistant Shortcut can be found in the Tech Learning Collective newsletter. 

Throughout the media center users will find book recommendations made by students.  We would love to see more staff book recommendations as well!  If you have a good Young Adult book that you want to promote to our students, we will proudly display it on the shelf with the title.  You can fill out a paper recommendation form in the media center or quickly fill out this digital book recommendation form.

Thank you for sharing the love of reading!

Rather than emailing a weekly tech tip, this year I am going to gather educational technology resources in a social bookmarking site called Wakelet.  As I stumble upon great resources, I will add them to my Wakelet account.  

I've divided the resources into subject categories, as well as resources for iPads, artificial intelligence, and a catch-all category called Great online resources for all.  My Wakelet account is young, but I intend to expand it significantly as the year progresses.  I encourage you to follow the link to my Wakelet page and then bookmark it so you can keep updated on new resources as I add them.
