Have you heard about the newest FREE web-based professional development opportunity for teachers, administrators and students called A.T.TIPS Cast? Our very own LCPS AT Trainer Chris Bugaj is the mastermind behind this incredible educational podcast that showcases Assistive Technology applications and supports for use within public schools. No matter what your role is within the school system, you’ll surely find something new and exciting to use. New to Podcasting? No sweat! A podcast is just a fancy term for listening to previously recorded audio files that have been placed on the web (which can typically be subscribed to and downloaded automatically when new content is added). So…go ahead and get started listening to one of the best AT shows on the web! Simply click on the weblink below to access over 20 audio files relating to PowerTalk, Talking calculator, visual schedules, motivational plans, and much more! You can listen to the audio files on directly on the web, burn them to a CD and play them in your car or even subscribe to the show within Itunes. For those advanced users, click the RSS feed to subscribe to the A.T.Tips Cast show within an RSS feed agregator. If you find the show enjoying, which I’m sure you will, please send along a message to Chris to let him know (attipscast@gmail.com). Better yet, I’m sure he’d appreciate it even more if you would share this resource with your staff, friends, family or anyone that you know would enjoy quality programming of this nature!
FYI – I’ll be talking more about RSS Feeds and agregators in future entries.
CONGRATULATIONS to Chris and A.T.TIPScast for winning the ”Best Professional Development Podcast” for the 3rd Annual Teachers Podcast Contest, which is graciously sponsored by McGraw Hill Education. To find out more, visit Episode #27 at http://www.teacherspodcast.org/.
