There will be a question on the Final about the Adapt A Book project at the Bluegrass Technology Center. Everyone who went on the field trip had an opportunity to experience this in a hands-on way in one of the "centers" we did. Those who volunteered worked with this project. If you would like to share what you remember about it here on the blog - or discuss THE PROJECT itself here, that would be GREAT. This will help you in answering the question on the Final.
Once the Final opens you will not be able to discuss the test question itself - but you may continue to discuss what is involved in the project.

Was this the center where the books were put into something like a "PowerPoint" format and the page in the book would be on a computer along with the text? Also, I don't think it was working perfectly when we were there, but a voice will read the text for the child, right? If I am thinking of the wrong thing please someone tell me.
ReplyDeleteI think that is the one! At least that's the same one I am thinking of!!

ReplyDeleteHere is how I would describe the Adapt a Book Project to someone who didn't know anything about it. Is this right?? I don't know if I confused a few facts about Read and Write Gold in with it . . . what do you guys think?
ReplyDelete"The project takes regular paper copies of books and converts them into electronic copies on a computer. It is kind of like a power point with the pages of the book scanned onto “flappable” pages. With the click of the mouse, the student can turn the electronic page and the computer will read aloud the text and highlight it as it reads, or it can just show the text on the page."
sounds good to me! The books can be presented in different ways like you mentioned with audio, highlighting, clicking the mouse or automatically turning the page, or other ways in order to adapt to the child's need.
ReplyDeleteI think your exactly right..I think the pages can even turn themselves if its highlighted and then after it reads a part it turns.. maybe?! :)
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds about right! This really helped me out a lot for the final! Thanks for all the great comments.
ReplyDeleteHaha I just realized that I put "flappable pages" instead of "flippable pages." Hahah that makes me laugh. This is why I should proofread before I write things on here.
