"For the most part, electronic books follow the printed book where stories are linear. It works and stories are written that way.
"Except for genre of interactive adventure writing. To do that, you need to investigateInklewriter. This application provides a wonderful environment for writing but, more importantly, it helps the author write the interactive, branching story. Just writing your story and when it comes time to branch, just add the options along with the paragraph that will be the destination! Inklewriter keeps track of everything so that you don’t have any points where your reader is left hanging!"

In schools across Australia there is strong support for linking learning in Technologies with learning literacy skills. Learning in Technologies places a high priority on accurate and unambiguous communication (ACARA, 2013).Implementing digital technologies in learning areas such as English allows special education teachers to facilitate and accommodate the learning needs of students. This is achieved through integrating assistive devices such as the iPad and its applications to develop critical literacy skills needed in the 21st century. Consequently special education teacher have a better opportunity to develop important General capabilities such as literacy (LIT) to allows student to become literate as they develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to interpret and use language confidently for learning and communicating in and out of school and for participating effectively in society (ACARA, 2013).
This website suggests various applications that can be used on the ipad to assist special needs students. The list of applications were selected to improve and develop students reading, writing and spelling. They engage the students through making the activities, fun and engaging, which I think is important when teaching special needs students.
