This week's assignment was to find an app that assists students with special needs. The Greenfoots have generously decided that it is my link that best captures this weeks current event assignment. This week's current event comes from a specialized group called the Kaufman Children's Center where they specialize with need-based children and teach through technology. One of the applications that they've found most helpful (and was at the top of their list) is called the ABC PHONICS WORD FAMILIES in which special needs students or younger students are able to spell through the grouping of letters with colors and amusing characters giving students the positive reinforcement they need in order for critical thinking to take place. I've placed the link to the KCC in the lower link as well as providing the link to the app that we found most useful for students with special needs.
