ArtikPix and ArtikPix - Full 3.1.3 are now available on the App Store! Check out what's new: • Reordering control of sound positions • Bug fixes Version 3.1.3 includes a feature to reorder sound positions, which was similarly available prior to version 3.0 of ArtikPix; however, in version 3.1.3, the reordering feature is configured for each student in the app. So, it's possible for example to run an activity in which one student's cards are reordered, and another student's cards are the default order. To reorder, go to the Sound Positions screen, then turn OFF Shuffle, and move desired sound positions via the reorder control (three horizontal lines stacked). ArtikPix version 3.1.3 also includes bug fixes, such as a fix for a crash in iOS 11 that occurred when searching students (if [...]

For example, if tallies were not scored during a new session, tapping the End button will result in the app returning to the Activities screen. The new version of ArtikPix also includes bug fixes, such as a fix for a crash in iOS 11 that occurred when tapping YES to add a video to the camera roll.

In response to user feedback, the prompted tallies in ArtikPix and ArtikPix - Full 3.1.1 now have an updated appearance and are one of three tally configurations (as seen in the post’s image with three screenshots). The star-smile button is correct with prompting; the smile button is correct; the frown button is incorrect; and the star-frown button is incorrect with prompting. Because a fair number of users prefer the simple correct and incorrect tallies, it is now the default configuration (middle screenshot); however, you can change the configuration via the Options to hide all tallies (left screenshot), or to show the prompted tallies (right screenshot). Here’s how to access the three tally configurations: Left screenshot - hide all tallies (More > Options > Hide All Tallie[...]

4 years. It has been 4 years since the last ArtikPix update! Why did it take that long? Well, several events occurred in the last 4 years, leading me down a long road of learning experiences that helped me finally complete the update now. 2 years ago, I had developers try to update the app. It was going to be a minor update to fix some appearance issues and glitches, but other significant features broke in the app. Additionally, the app really needed a major update that required more experience on my behalf. I started thinking how it could be better if I had the expertise to code my own apps. Additional events - occurring within my life in the last 4 years - led to this major ArtikPix update. One big event in my life was having children. My wife and I now have two energetic sons, Lev[...]

This year I will be presenting all-day sessions on iPad for students with speech-language needs, and I recently finished my slideshow. It was fun compiling the slides, as the content focuses on how I typically implement iPad (as a school-based SLP) with my students who have speech-language needs. To this end, I was excited to include the latest features from Percentally Pro 2.1, my data collection app I use each day as an SLP. You can see the Percentally Pro 2.1 information on pages 69 - 86 in the slideshow below. The slideshow also includes ideas and strategies for several other apps. iPad for Speech-Language Needs from Eric Sailers

Eric Sailers, speech-language pathologist and owner of Expressive Solutions, has been learning iOS programming. He took the initiative because he wanted to collaborate more effectively with iOS developers on apps by Expressive Solutions. Plus, he has hopes of developing iOS apps for Expressive Solutions at some point in the future. He started creating videos to demonstrate various iOS programming skills. He believes if he can teach the skills he can demonstrate his understanding of the skills. Here's a video (best viewed at 720p in full-screen mode) of Eric using Xcode (Mac app) to demonstrate how to post to Twitter from an iOS app. If you can't see the video, click here to go to YouTube.
