PrAACtical AAC If you’ve been following our blog, you know that we have mixed feelings about the AAC app revolution. More specifically, we’ve had concerns about the decision-making process around app selection, the paucity of apps that allow for children to learn true generative language, and a few other things. We continue to advocate for AAC app selection to occur within the context of a feature match process that gives appropriate attention to the full range of AAC options. In this mega-post we’ve included our most recent update of free and lite versions of AAC apps for iOS and Android plus a variety of additional resources related to AAC app selection. Tools to Use In Making Decisions About AAC Apps Places to Go to Find AAC Apps and Reviews Training Material on AAC Apps, News, Suggestions, etc. Because this list sometimes gets circulated without the context in which it was originally developed, we decided to include some excerpts from our original post in early 2012. First, a few caveats: 1. 2. 3. 4.

10 Quick Ways to Speed Up a Slow Windows PC Windows PCs don’t have to slow down over time. Whether your PC has gradually become slower or it suddenly ground to a halt a few minutes ago, there could be quite a few reasons for that slowness. As with all PC issues, don’t be afraid to give your computer a reboot if something’s not working properly.

PrAACtical AAC DSL information Q&A: Niet meer om een wachtwoord vragen bij het ontwaken uit de slaapstand Marjan vraagt: "Als ik stop met werken op de computer moet ik steeds mijn wachtwoord typen bij hervatting. Ik wil mijn wachtwoord eigenlijk alleen intypen als ik de computer start." Antwoord: Er zijn inderdaad twee momenten waarop een wachtwoord wordt gevraagd: voorafgaande aan het opstarten van een gebruikersaccount en bij het hervatten van de sessie na het ontwaken uit de slaapstand. In beide gevallen kan het vragen om het wachtwoord worden uitgeschakeld. Het automatisch aanmelden bij het opstarten van Windows kan worden uitgeschakeld door in het zoekvenster de zoekterm netplwiz te gebruiken (hiermee kan tevens het welkomstscherm worden overgeslagen wanneer er meerdere gebruikersaccounts zijn ingesteld). Met de gratis nieuwsbrief blijf je op de hoogte van veranderingen in Windows 10. Menno Schoone

DEBATE, una nuova disciplina scolastica per rafforzare le competenze – Education 2.0 Il DEBATE è una disciplina scolastica, sviluppatasi nel mondo anglosassone, basata sull’esercizio al dibattito, facendo leva su alcune competenze specifiche (linguistiche, logiche, comportamentali, di interazione costruttiva, ecc.). In Italia il progetto è stato sperimentato dall’Istituto tecnico “Pacioli” di Crema e sono stati ottenuti risultati sorprendenti per l’accrescimento delle competenze didattiche ed educative. All’Istituto Tecnico Pacioli di Crema, da quattro anni è nata una nuova disciplina: il DEBATE, inserita nel curricolo scolastico con tanto di criteri di valutazione e di voti. Cos’è il DEBATE? Cos’è un Classroom DEBATE? Da quattro anni, durante il mese di gennaio, la scuola organizza sia le attività di formazione sia le attività didattiche. Il percorso si sviluppa in 30/35 ore annuali di “classroom debating” suddivise tra le diverse discipline coinvolte e prevede un’acquisizione graduale delle competenze. Carolina Donzelli
