Current Trends in Assistive Technology for K-12 Settings - Webinar - Sep 5, 2013 - 0 views

  •  
    Register for this webinar
    What:
    Explore the current issues and trends surrounding assistive technology devices and service for public schools and districts. Current technology-related issues are catching the attention of many state and local education agencies with the development of operational guidelines surrounding implementation and development of technology in general. Assistive technology tools, devices and services have been interwoven into the fabric of least restrictive environment (LRE) to afford access to the general curriculum and instructional materials for our special needs students for many years (since IDEA 2004). However, with the onset of "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) or "Bring Your Own Technology" (BYOT) in addition to mobile technologies being used by all school personnel, district operational guidelines are blurring the line of assistive and instructional technology.

    Register for this event

    What:
    This webinar is the second installment of a 3 part series on Nonprofit Technology 101.

This includes not only your hardware and software, but the human side of the equation. We'll show you how an organization's culture, needs, resources and environment (not the tools) help guide thoughtful use of technology. You'll be shown some tools to help you get started in moving away from a reactive, knee-jerk "band-aid" approach to a smarter more thoughtful approach.

    November 12th - Implementing AAC in the Classroom  with Kelly Fonner, Consultant, Fonner Consulting & Training     OVERVIEW:  Challenges are often met when introducing AAC systems from the clinical or
    "speech-room" setting into the busy environment of the classroom. The "real-world" of
    communication does not always play out easily for the student using AAC. Whether they are using
    lo-tech or hi-tech systems there are strategies that can assist staff and families in bringing AAC into
    the school day.  During this webinar you will learn to evaluate the AAC-using student's day by
    communication contexts and reevaluate the possibilities of how your student can more effectively
    communicate, learn vocabulary or communication strategies during the typical activities of their
    school day.   
    Exciting two part webinar series on Reading Comprehension with Scott Marfilius. It is recommended
    that both webinars be attended. The content for these two webinars come from Scott's highly
