Day 7, July 12

Today was another great day with lots of learning happening. It was first of all interesting to be involved in an online live Elluminate class. Wow, technology has sure come a long way!
Kurzweil is a very neat and user friendly program. While doing the two webinars on Kurzweil, it was interesting to see the program being used and to imagine the benefits for various students. Today it was great to be involved in a hands-on project and to be able to play around with the various tools in Kurzweil. Unfortunately, I was not able to download the free version but was able to join Krista and Julie in working on a project. We decided to work on the reading about California Condors. It was interesting doing and seeing the text to speech, bubble notes, dictionary, word prediction, and fill in the blank test. We were unable to convert to mp3 because the capabilities were not there on the trial version.
Because of my limited knowledge, I decided to include a link on the California Condor which includes information and several pictures.
