Website of the Week for June 20, 2011: Straight Street...Great Website to Download Symbols6/21/2011 Website: http://www.straight-street.com/
This is a great FREE site that allows the user to search for symbols and then download groups of symbols to use. It does require you to create a username in order to download the symbols, but everything is free of charge. This website is great if you do not have access to Boardmaker. It is user friendly, click on Get Symbols and then search for the symbols that you need. Special Thanks to the Creators of Straight-Street.com!!

Website: www.cameramouse.org The website for this week aligns perfectly with the following thought for the day: "By operating in ways that encourage others, we ourselves reap the benefits because we are contributing rather than receiving."
Camera Mouse is free software that allows the user to control the mouse pointer on the computer screen through head movements. Anyone can use the software, but the main audience is directed towards individuals who do not have reliable control of their hand, but who can move their head. People with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) ,Cerebral Palsy (CP), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and various neurological disorders use this program with other types of computer software.Camera Mouse is user friendly and it does not require a lot of equipment to use the software. As I reviewed each testimony on the Camera Mouse website it was truly inspiring to see how many individuals have benefited from such a great software. So many doors have been opened to allow individuals with disabilities to have the capability to access the computer without spending any money at all. It is motivating to find sites like these that provide resources to the community. Be sure to check out this website to view individuals using this software, testimonies, for your free download, or just stop by and see for yourself just how great this software truly is, and do not forget to spread the word about this website. I hope this website inspired you as much as it inspired me and I hope each of us will go on to inspire others in turn. Special Thanks to the creators of the Camera Mouse software and website! Download Goo Reader Here: http://gooreader.com/
Google Books Website: http://books.google.com/ Goo Reader is a nice free application to have on your desktop because it allows you to read magazines and books available on Google Books. Sometimes on Google Books it is difficult to view the pages by scrolling down, but this application allows you to flip each page by clicking on your mouse, just like you were reading a book. It allows you to search for books via Book ID, Title, or Author. Google Books does allow you to do an advanced search which is more in depth then Goo Reader, but Goo Reader is still good to have as well. Goo Reader is a great application and Google Books is a great resource to have bookmarked because you really can't go wrong with either one. Google Books was a lifesaver in graduate school while I was waiting for some of my books to come in the mail, I did not miss out on any reading assignments because luckily there was a full preview of the assigned books for class. Happy Reading and Happy Friday! |
