Today the first presentation was on Assistive Technology. I must admit I wasn't sure that I would have anything to contribute to the group, however, as the discussion progressed I realized that I use "low-tech" options on a daily basis.
As an academic advisor I refer students to the Disability Resource Center for testing and additional assistance. Many of my students are returning Veteran's that have some disability or another, as a result of their service in the military.
FIELD TRIP! We took a tour of the Assistive Technology Building and saw just a few of the items available for those in need of technology. I learned that they have equipment available for students (particularly the first week of ski season, and the first week of Ultimate Frisbee). This is a great service to share w/ my students.
The second presentation was on Shutterfly. Subscriptions are free :). For a NON-SCRAPBOOKER this is a great alternative. Since my husband works out of the state 25 out of 30 days a month it might be fun to make a small book of the kids to send on the road with him. This would also be a fun teacher memory book...Summer Vacation...Teton Science School...5th Grade Graduation...Sky View Graduation...many fun memory making opportunities to come for the 2008-09 year.
