Get Your iPod Touch Groove On - Assistive Technology in the Classroom


What a great professional development day we had last week! I was fortunate to get the opportunity to work with two lovely Speech Pathologists to present about the use of iPod touches in the classroom to meet the needs of specific students. We had a very diverse group both in areas of teaching expertise and in technology experience.
As presenters our goal was to make the presentation as engaging and interactive as possible while meeting the needs of each person in attendance. Just as our students require differentiation so do the talented people that work with them.
The feedback given was terrific. Meaningful and purposeful questions were asked throughout and at the end. Many in attendance were asking for more regarding how they could help their students in more ways to become as successful as they possibly could.
Thank you to all who attended and how lucky I feel to work in such dedicated professionals that are trying to meet the needs of all students in the best way that they can!
