Have you noticed the new assistive technology display board within your school this year?   Over the summer, the assistive technology team built kiosk displays for all schools which highlight various technology tools on the instructional matrix,  strategies for integrating these tools into the curriculum, and a wide variety of additional resources.   The boards were delivered to schools during the months of September and October.  Following the Universal Design for Learning framework, these visually engaging displays provide a quick on-demand professional development opportunity that any staff member within the school may benefit from reading.   The boards are updated monthly by the assistive technology trainer supporting your school.   In addition to the boards, a compendium website (http://www.tinyurl.com/lcpsatpd) was built to showcases all the information that will be displayed on the boards throughout the 2009-2010 school year.   Teachers will find instructional videos, sample products, and much more to support a variety of curricular areas.   Each school determined the location for the board.  Some of the most popular locations include the teachers lounge,  libary, workroom, and the  main office.    Do you know where your display is?  If not, please contact your assistive technology trainer for more information.  A list of  AT trainers and the schools they support can be found by visiting http://www.tinyurl.com/attrainer.   Enjoy!
