The FIVES criteria for selecting good tech resources is pretty much a unifying statement for this site and my work as a whole.
In February of 2013 I updated the FIVES criteria to reflect our living in the world of apps, with new examples and some strategies for determining the "F"- changed from "Free or Nearly Free" to "Fairly Priced." The new booklet also contains information on modifying the FIVES criteria for other disciplines outside of Speech-Language Pathology.
The original FIVES booklet was published on the ADVANCE Speech in the Schools Blog. This booklet also contains a more thorough look at each of the criteria, and is useful as a look at web resources.
