Appy ATIA Friday!
I am blogging from the Assistive Technology Industry Association conference. I can't help but be a little mean to my St. Louis readers...it's in Orlando, Florida. I'm wearing sandals. The pool has a waterfall. But don't be too jealous. I'm actually inside nearly all day gathering as much new and exciting information for my teams and upcoming workshops. Today's email includes some cool free apps I learned about today in various sessions (so far) and the normal free Friday links!
Start downloading!!!

Cool Free Apps I learned about at ATIA so far:
Mind Mapping (Lite version) that allows you to make graphic organizers for writing. What I found interesting is each cell has a two text boxes. One that will be a title and then information underneath.
Customizable third party keyboard that just released this week with an English keyboard the US store. There are several apps that are available to set up customized colors on your keyboard, but this one is more in depth in features. You can color code by row and columns, not just the whole keyboard. But I was really excited that you can hide letters for students. This is great for OTs who need scaffolded typing instruction, students who need to work on typing their name, giving just the letters they need to do an assignment, etc.
Tetra Alarm (Android)
This is a interval alarm, so you can have an alarm that is daily, weekly, hourly, and minutes. Every 10 minutes you can have an alarm to cue a student to pay attention, weight shift in a wheelchair, etc.
It also has a snooze feature.
Free for a short time
This is a creation and presentation tool for students and teachers. You can make digital stories, lessons, custom ecards, etc.
This is a presentation tool that is similar to the app Explain Everything. It's multi-media way to create presentation materials with images, links, video, It is available in many devices.
A timer that easily lets you implement the pomodoro technique. This where you work for a concentrated period of time and then take a short break.
