At its core, the American educational system is about democratization of knowledge for all students, regardless of their circumstances. In 2011, 22 percent of non-institutionalized adults with disabilities had less than a high school education. If this statistic was applied to the general population, my suspicion is that there would be an outcry to reform K-12 education to have better graduation results. But for students with disabilities, there is no shock or outrage and that is something that has to change. The key to improving the educational experience for students with disabilities is better accommodations in schools and continued improvements in assistive technology.

What:
We have all heard the hype about iPads and how this mobile device will change the way we use technology, but what does that mean for education? If you are looking for an interactive, hands-on workshop that will help you realize the power of this device and how it can be used in a K-12 classroom, then this is the one for you. During this workshop you will have the opportunity to discover the countless ways you can use this device to change the way you "do" education. Learn the basics of working with your iPad, research all of the available apps and find out which ones are right for your classroom, and find out how other schools are implementing iPads within their classrooms. You will also be introduced to the many accessories you can add to your iPad to extend its functionality. Don't have an iPad yet, no worries, we will have several iPads available for you to use during the workshop. When/Where:
