Day Ten: It's All Adding Up

I have eluded to the fact that my cell phone is prehistoric, BUT it does include features such as a calculator and calendar. However, I found I never used these features, because it was a hassle to maneuver the settings. On the iPod, this is much easier with the onscreen touch. For example, my husband and I went to The Home Depot to price paver stones to build a garden wall. It was so helpful to have my iPod to calculate total prices and compare various products. I was then able to take pictures of the different stones and bring them to the house to better visualize a final product. I only have a few days left with my "baby", and it will be hard to lose her (I've decided "her" name is Ebony).

I have been busy working on another blog (I feel like an adulterer) with a couple of my peers on the writing process. This will be a joint effort among Joelle, Janna, and myself (hence the name: Assistive Technology Janna Meggie Joelle...) but we have not yet posted our work. However, the link is:

One place in which I have found some of my inspiration is Jamie Renouf's website:
http://ssrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/jrenouf/howtos.htm
There are links to various assistive technology applications that are successful right within our own province, and I encourage you to check it out!

Another source of knowledge is Don Johnson's website:
http://www.donjohnston.com/
*Don't confuse this Don Johnson with the rugged Miami Vice Don Johnson (see picture).
This website directs the viewer to various assistive technologies, developed by this impressive enterprise, to help those struggling with the writing (and/or reading) process.
You'll have to check back to see the final product in a few days!
