Hi folks,
I just came from Closing The Gap also. I wanted to pass along some ideas
for electronic adapted books.
resource CD called FUN, Two, Three! It has templates and tutorials to create
puzzles, coloring books, story books, and more fun things. The CD was given
away for free at the conference, but call Intellitools and ask for it. You
may have to pay a shipping fee or perhaps you can download it. The player
allows you to run stories on any computer.

This is a really great way to illustrate your stories and add interest to
your story. Also has a player that allows you to run them on any computer.
out next Spring or Summer. Called "My Own Bookshelf", it will let you create
electronic stories and store them for each student in your class. The
student can INDEPENDENTLY click on his/her name/photo, view and select which
book he/she wants to read, and turn the pages via switch, TouchWindow, etc. Very
simple template walks you through the creation of the stories.

These will be available hopefully by January and will be sold as a separate
CD. They would not be used within the Boardmaker program but would work with
Speaking Dynamically Pro or could be copied into any of the above electronic book
programs.
animation to them if you have no special software yet. They will run
automatically as a slide show or advance by mouse click or switch.
Have fun,
Sue
