My Study Bar tool from RSC Scotland North+East |
Of course the Freedom Stick is an "Americanization" of the fabulous LearnApps Drive created by RSC Scotland North and East, so you can download their version instead if that serves you better (or their AccessApps - more suited for visually impaired students, or the classroom tool building TeachApps). RSC also offers MyStudyBar for desktop or laptop installation.
The goal is to help students fully develop their Toolbelts for success at university, or in any post-secondary environment.

Remember, we have a full selection of support videos, ranging from hour long webinars to three - to - five minute tool use presentations for all of the Freedom Stick tools. RSC Scotland N+E has their own support videos as well.
Humans are tool users by nature. We succeed when we choose our tools intelligently based on the "TEST" formula - Task - Environment - Skills (at the moment) - and Tool Knowledge. If your tools do not offer you the support choices you need, you are making life unnecessarily difficult.

Thank you for this! It's amazing to advocate for workable tools and to forever feel that I'm, in the words of my father, "pissing up a rope." If only strategizing were the norm. Your posts are GREAT.
