Touching the virtual, touching the real: iPads and enabling literacy for students experiencing disability. Flewitt, R., Kucirkova, N., Messer, D. (2014) Australian Journal of Language and Literacy Vol. 37, No. 2 pp.107-116 In this paper we discuss the potential of iPads for supporting literacy learning in special education, with a focus on how the gestural and sensory experience of touch can enable young learners with moderate to complex physical and/or cognitive disability engage in fun, independent and inclusive classroom-based literacy activities.
We report on a case study where we observed the literacy learning opportunities offered by the touch screen interface provided by iPads for a diverse group of students aged 3 to 19 years in a special school in the English Midlands.

MyStudyBar Please note: some users have reported that anti-virus programs such as Avast and VGA are identifying the MyStudyBar ‘exe‘ file as a Trojan. In some case the ‘exe‘ file is being quarantined. This issue is known as a ‘False/Positive’ – the anti-virus program doesn’t recognise the MSB exe file as being on its database of safe or ‘white’ applications. MSB is registered with Symantic Norton and McAfee but EduApps is in the process of registering MSB with other anti-virus developers – apologies for any inconvenience.

Apprenticeships are a vital part of the government’s strategy to create a highly skilled workforce and the current programme of reform is designed to ensure that the Apprenticeship pathway has parity of esteem with higher education among school leavers. Apprenticeships for adults are similarly a key part of the government’s Apprenticeship policy – enabling adults to change or develop their careers throughout their working lives. NIACE is keen that government policy recognises the different needs of those who may be attracted by the Apprenticeship route. The low participation rate of disabled apprentices was identified in the Little Report, which showed that Apprenticeships for adults and young people with a declared learning difficulty or disability have fallen from 11 per cent in 2008–09 to 8.4 per cent in 2010–11.
Using Technology to Enhance Engaged Learning for At-Risk Students. ISSUE: An increasing number of educators are calling for high standards and challenging learning activities for at-risk students.
New technologies can provide meaningful learning experiences for all children, especially those at risk of educational failure. Schools that capitalize on the relationship between technology and education reform will help students to develop higher order skills and to function effectively in the world beyond the classroom. Achieving such fundamental change, however, requires a transformation of not only the underlying pedagogy (basic assumptions about the teaching and learning process) but also the kinds of technology applications typically used in classrooms serving at-risk students.
OVERVIEW: The vision of classrooms structured around student involvement in challenging, long-term projects and focused on meaningful, engaged learning is important for all students.
