The session will include a discussion of technical and environmental considerations, account creation, avatar generation and customization, games selection, online collaboration and communication (using Avatar Kinect), and case studies describing specific IEP goal progressions and comparisons.

Our apologies. There is inaccurate information on this page of the Calendar. The statement "School employees can have the monthly fee (approximately $30) taken directly from your paycheck" is inaccurate. It should read "County employees can have the monthly fee (approximately $30) taken directly from his or her paycheck." The version on http://lcps.org/at has been altered to remove the wording altogether. Our apologies for the misinformation, Loudoun County Public Schools Assistive Technology Team
