SignShine

Get it here
Cost:  Free



UDL Guideline 1.2 - Offers alternative for auditory information:  Provide American Sign Language (ASL) for spoken English.  This app offers a variety of songs and signs that are geared to young learners.  The content in this app can be presented on a big screen and allow for all students to participate and not just those who are hearing impaired.


General Critique
SignShine can benefit every member of the class by creating a connection between those who can't hear and the children who will be classmates throughout their education.  Because of the connection to the songs that are frequently sung in classrooms takes this app beyond just assistive technology and applies it to the development of class culture.
