Inspiration takes skill, not a tonne, but some skill, practice and patience. Today Emily and I had the chance to also work with the iPad version as well. Blowing your nose, like reading is a complicated process! When you start doing a task analysus, there's lot of thinking, decisions and steps involved. This morning we worked hard to create a task analysis for the process involved for the body and brain in order to blow your nose. I think the possibilities are endless. It also depends on the level of language you use in the process. I have learned that it involves much more than getting a Kleenex , blowing your nose, putting the tissue in the garbage and washing your hands.
Blowing your nose requires much attention to the task, kinesthetic functions, auditory processing, working memory, visual processing, balance, gross motor skills, fine motor skills and the list goes on and on. There are so many steps and cooperation that have to attend to the task in order for it to be completed.
A short video of how "easy" it is to use Inspiration Maps on your iPad.

It was a fun day in class, much more relaxed that before. I hadn't really spent much time exploring itunes, let alone downloading an App and playing on it. The possibilities are really endless.
How does one know if the app is worth it or not? You have to try it, or rely on word of mouth. You can investigate reviews on google, but those opintions are all relative.
There's an app for that
