Mark, I think it may be easier to procure monkey snot and bring it into the classroom than it is to gain access to some of the web 2.0 tools from a classroom! Seriously, I believe the issue has multiple facets
I think there are a lot of individua...
Are the items in the chart for each line, represent any hierarchy? I noticed in the writing section you had uses a spellcheck and dictionary, and uses a Franklin Speller. At first that seemed a little confusing to me... then I figured out you were...
I'm an OT who has been involved in AT for the past 11 years. I work primarily with the High Incidence population ...but like most school district employees, I have numerous hats in my trunk.
Hi Terri,
That is exactly what I was looking for. I just emailed the link to the student and his parents. It will open so many doors for this family.
I will keep you posted. I have a two hour home visit planned tomorrow, so I will get him on the website and show him what I have been exploring. It is exactly what he is interested in-just hasn't had the opportunity in Central Oregon. Thank you!!
I encourage you to visit their web site. In a nutshell, they support/encourage individuals with disabilities to be active in technology. Programs to support teachers, students, career engagement, etc. They used to have camps and an internet pen pal type of mentoring program pairing young people planning on pursuing college who also have disabilities. I believe it is very important for our students with disabilities to connect with others who contribute to society despite having a disability and peers who have the similar hopes and fears. (Ok, I'll step down from my soap box now. )
Lots of cool stuff... too many to list. https://www.washington.edu/doit/
Good luck! Let me know if your student finds something of interest for him/her there.
