AIM: Accessible Instructional Materials Resources at LiveBinders

Click here to access my AIM: Accessible Instructional Materials Resources at LiveBinders from my AT tips blog. It's designed to share the wealth of resources now available for educators and specialists navigating the rapidly changing field of AIM, also known as Accessible Instructional Materials.

 

The headings and subheading tabs will bring you to specific topics related to AIM, but remember once you are at a site, you’ll discover more resources to explore in greater depth. This collection of websites and resources are meant to serve as a starting point.

 

Thanks to National Center on Accessible Instructional Materials, Bookshare, RFB&D, Freedom Scientific and other organizations included in this live binder for their pioneering work in the area of AIM. They provide invaluable help for those of us in the schools needing to acquire AIM materials and successfully implement AIM programs.  

 

Try following your favorite AIM organizations on Twitter or Facebook and be among the first to hear about new developments in the field.

 

Please send me feedback about what resources you found useful, or others that you recommend.

Toca Boca Releases a Brand New Role Playing App- Toca Store

 
 
If you aren't familiar with Toca Boca's excellent children's apps, then head on over to the iTunes store and check out their apps. My personal favorites are Toca Hair Salon and Toca Tea Party. These are apps that adults enjoy playing with kids. Also they fill a need for apps that encourage kids to role play and engage with each other, not just the device.
