Continuing our conversation regarding useful educational apps, I found myself short shrifting students whose learning disabilities have to do with physical limitations as opposed to mental ones. I have had little experience working with these kinds of students. Thankfully our textbook gives us a good look at the educational apps available to these students. Among them:
- MathPad (Talking math worksheet program)
- MathPad Plus (Extends to fractions and decimals)
- Virtual Pencil Arithmetic (For students who are "pencil impaired")
- Virtual Pencil Algebra (Extends to algebraic equations)
- Number Navigator (Simple "math processor" with customizable colors, fonts, and font sizes)
- Microsoft Word's Equation Editor (For students with good mouse control but difficulty with handwriting)
- Math Type (For students in advanced math classes)
- Scientific Notebook (For solving equations)
- Meander's Annotator (For handwriting problems in geometry)
Here's a great example of Virtual Pencil at work!
