 * Mind reading is the tool that was used in a 10 week process for 8-11 year olds. The program was used to help students develop emotional recognition. The software was made to develop a skill of emotional recognition in a systematic and comprehensive format. After the study, the students showed a developed ability to recognize the emotion the speaker was trying to portray and using their voice as well.
 * I feel that this tool is a major help to students who have difficulty in deciding what someone is saying and how they really feel. This skill will not only help children in the learning environment with teachers and classmates, but at home as well. While interacting with students it has helped them distinguish between how they are really feeling and what their speech gives off.

 * E-Word Wall is a tool that is used for autistic students who struggle with vocabulary. Many students with this disability respond really well to images, so this tool incorporates images along with sentences and vocabulary. This program also establishes a relationship between visual and auditory cues. Before the teacher brought this into her classroom, her most of her students with autism only had a developed knowledge of what they were interested and once they used the tool, they were picking up new words easier.
 * I think that this tool would work really well in a vocabulary or English lesson. Instead of learning new words from the teacher sharing them, it would be more beneficial if these students could use the computer program instead. Also, this tool can be incorporated into bringing technology into the classroom.
