Dragon Dictation app for iPhone and iPad

This is not a new product but it is certainly one I really recommend if you would like to input text via your voice rather than through typing on a qwerty-keyboard. Really useful for students with dyslexia as I noticed yesterday as two Rödaberg students "wrote" their English assignments through the microphone on their iPads. The app is totally FREE and very easy to use. The text that appears can be sent by e-mail to your inbox or saved on the iPad/iPhone.
You can find it at the AppStore or in iTunes.

"Back on the Block!"

Hi again!

Sorry I've been away for some time due to a variety of circumstances.
Thought I should get back to promoting the Educational apps (for iPads, Android pads) and web pages that we recommend for supporting learning whilst studying at Rödabergsskolan.

Will soon be posting some new products and web resources that have recently appeared.

Speak to you soon!

:)
