Find at least three mobile apps (can either be either for Android tablets or iPad, or a combination of both) that you think might be useful to help with communication and/or literacy in an educational and/or community setting, preferably for students with exceptional learning needs. Post the following information either directly in your post or in a Word document. If you use Word, please attach your document to your post. You are welcome to use a table format to organize your app information, though this is optional.

You may wish to consider reviewing apps used with a specific population of students (i.e. autism spectrum disorder) or for a specific literacy area (phonemic awareness, phonics, word study, vocabulary, print awareness, multimedia composition, etc.), but this is not required. For each of the three apps, please use the following format and include:

• Name of the app URL (web address) – link where you found the app – be sure you actually have added a link to the site so that readers can click on your link and be taken directly to that site**
• Is this a free app? If not, what is the cost?
• Is the app available for Android devices, iPad devices, or both?
• A description of some of the features of the app
• The benefits of the app and what you liked about the app
• The drawbacks of the app and what you didn’t like about the app
• Reflection – how would you apply this app to your current setting?
• Recommendation – would you recommend this app to other educators?
