The water snakes were amazing! I didn't even see them as the Dollar Store. I can totally see how it could be used as a talking stick, and a great way to curb students with behavioural issues.
The hand soap use is amazing. I never would have thought about how difficult it would be to tear the toilet paper off the roll if you only have one hand. This was an amazing idea!
I really loved the squishy tube especially for the fact that it can be suctioned to a surface for any use. Another find that I didn't see!
Pool Noodle tag looks like an amazingly fun game even without any developmental deficiencies. I love how it makes the game much more inclusive for those who may not be as adept at moving quickly!
I would never have thought to use sandpaper for students who have sensory or visual issues. It is a great way to get them to feel a story and be able to make something up that goes with the image!
I love how you can cut and reuse tennis balls for multiple things. I would totally cut them in half for putting over your ears if things get too noisy, or putting them on the feet or chairs or tables to reduce the awful scraping noise!
I loved the little bell idea for a student to get the teachers attention. Especially when they are nonverbal. Sometimes in a busy class it is easy to miss a hand raised, but a bell can definitely signal the teacher that the student has a question or a need.
I remember looking at the scarf holder and having no idea how I could possibly use it in the classroom setting. Using at a sorting machine, a pattern machine or any type of math application is brilliant!
The pool noodle finger protector is so cool. I would have never considered using it in a kitchen setting.
I am still blown away by all the ways a person can use a pool noodle. I loved playing cards with my grandma! I know that my grandmother later in her life had a hard time holding them after a stroke and this would would have definitely helped her continue to beat me in crib.
Magnetic letters on a cookie sheet. Another brilliant idea! What a great way to practice your letters and get people to write who have difficulty using a pen or pencil!
Feeling of the day:
Here is my word cloud for the Microsoft Web Store:
The majority of the apps that I found were very similar to Proloquo2Go. Some were much cheaper and it would be interesting to explore them deeper to see how close they are to the one we've already explored! I was a little disappointed in the lack of variety that the Microsoft Web Store offered. I feel that there are so many possibilities out there, but they either haven't been developed, or they have been developed unsuccessfully.
