Hi Paul
Thanks for putting together this great tutorial. I have also been researching assistive technologies for a good while now and was promoting the use of ClickSpeak to a friend over coffee yesterday. So it was great to be able to direct her towards your video.
I also had you in my favourites with your edublogs site as I had been setting up Edublogs Tutorial site for teachers and looking for exemplar users.
It's good to connect and thanks again
Mike

Thanks, Paul, for pointing out ClickSpeak. This video tutorial is excellent. (As an aside, in addition to its use as assistive technology for special-need students, I wonder if it might be used in other creative ways. For example, I have found that listening to a audio recording of a reading of great literature allows me to absorb at a slightly slower pace the author's creativity and insights.)
