What:
Join us as we explore useful technology tools for the classroom. Each month we will explore technological tools that can enhance the educational experience for educators and students. This “hands on” opportunity will use technological tools available in everyday activities: personal computers, cell phones, iPods, iPads, and much more! Free downloadable programs to broaden the educational experience through such sites as Wiki, and Google will be explored. The goal of these sessions is to provide useable and practical technology for educators in such a way that it puts the “fun” back into education.
November’s Technology Tuesday will be a “show and tell” of useful technologies that Trina finds useful within the classroom setting. It will also be an opportunity to share the technology that others use in their classrooms. This “sharing” of technology will build the foundation of future Technology Tuesdays.

Emerging Professional Development Trends for Assistive Technology - Webinar - Aug. 28, ... - 0 views
-
Click here to register for this webinar What:
Finding appropriate Assistive Technology supports for students with disabilities is only half the battle. Once this critical step is complete, the process of training and support for the student (and those working with the student) begins. Unfortunately, due to time and other constraints, training on implementation is rarely reached, which is likely one of the reasons we see such high levels of AT abandonment across the country. During this session the presenter will discuss emerging trends and practical tips for providing effective professional development and support to those that use (and support the use of) Assistive Technology. Learning Objectives: Identify at least 3 no or low cost synchronous (real time) solutions for providing AT training and support. Identify at least 3 no or low cost asynchronous (available 24/7) solutions for providing AT training and support. Describe many of the barriers that hinder the implementation of AT. When:
