Participants will explore assistive technology that can be used for individuals with a variety of physical, cognitive and language abilities to find success with the Oklahoma state mandated portfolio assessment. Participants must be Special Education Teachers. Participants will create low and high tech curriculum materials to take back to their classrooms that will help students practice the skills necessary for a successful portfolio assessment. They will also receive brief training on how to use Boardmaker to create and modify activities.

Scholarships for all of our trainings are available!

Activity of the Month
thanksgiving turkey This post by Kate Ahern is a few years old, but it provides links to some wonderful Thanksgiving related activities you can use in your classroom.
Turkey, Turkey, Gobble, Gobble.
Eat Too Much, Wobble, Wobble.    
 Amazing Apps!
audio note  Audio Note (iPhone & iPad) allows you to write or type notes while recording audio (such as a lecture).  The notes 'sync' with the audio so you can go back and HEAR what was said at the time the note was written.  This could be helpful for students with handwriting, memory, or attention issues.     Borrow an iPad from OATC for a trial with your students or Download it from the iTunes store for $4.99.  
 Free Stuff
audio books for free AudioBooksForFree.com is a great place to find and download professionally recorded  audio books.   Audio books can be played from a computer, MP3 player, iPod, CD player, or DVD player.

laptop keyboard cover RJ Cooper's Laptop Keyboard Cover is the perfect solution for those times you need to HIDE the keys on your keyboard so it can be used for switch access.  This simple plastic cover is designed to slide under and over the keyboard and will prevent accidental key hits and reduce distractions.
