Welcome,

We are “appy” to present this Blog which was created by Bev Anthony, Tarah Henderson, Nancy MacLeod and Gary Sweet as a way to present our findings from the Executive Functioning webinar that we participated in, as part of our Assistive Technology Course through Acadia University. You will find a summary of the webinar as well as a brief description of all of the apps that were featured. We have each chosen one app that we found particularly useful and conducted a more in depth investigation into each app. “appy” viewing!

Pictello App

Pictello is an app that is somewhat similar to a power point. It could be used to create social stories that could be used by an individual or the whole class. This app would be especially useful for those students who are diagnosed ASD. When I think of whole class application I am thinking of those primary students for who school is a completely new experience. Actual pictures of places around the school could be imported and stories could include: What happens during a fire drill, How do I get to music class, What happens during lunch, My teacher is absent, and the list could go on and on. Students could view these on an LCD or individuals could review these stories in preparation for the upcoming event.
