So, I included transparent rectangles for titles, tables for lists, and circles for sections, among other features. I also updated the content of my slides to be current. The slideshow covers the latest information regarding iPads for children with special needs. iOS 8 and accessibility are highlighted as well as free, paid, and specialized apps that span reading, writing, math, communication, social skills, organization, and more.

With OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, Apple has provided developers an opportunity to create app preview videos. The videos are optional, but Apple is encouraging developers to include them with their apps on the App Store. The video previews have to be 15 to 30 seconds in duration, and they can be used to highlight features in an app. Additionally, each iOS app can only have one app preview video. We decided to create app preview videos for both versions of our new articulation app, ArtikPix Levels. The videos are similar, yet they include differences to show the various features in the free and plus versions of ArtikPix Levels. The app previews will be submitted with our next updates for ArtikPix Levels. In the meantime, you can check out the videos below. ArtikPix Levels ArtikPix[...]
