Assistive Technology 1

As usual, google provided over a million websites somehow related to the search words: Assistive Technology. Despite the millions of choices, I found an excellent definition: "Provides hardware and software solutions to help people with learning, communication, and access difficulties lead more independent and productive lives." (http://www.assistivetech.com/corporate/home.aspx) The good thing about the google search, is that it also provides the searcher with pictures of the different types of technology, the downside is, is that it can take several hours to sift through the sites to determine which ones are pertinent to the subject you actually want. Looking in declious though, I used the tags, which narrowed my search to a more realistic number, only over 2,000, but the tags allow one to quickly breeze through and eliminate the ones that don't pertain the subject, but simply contain the words or have additional relevance that a person may not need. In fact, some of the websites on delicious came up through my google search, such as pluk.org. Overall, I find declious a much quicker and efficient way to find valueable websites. It also helps if more than a few people also have tagged the site; it adds to its legtimicy.
