workshop, “Assistive Technology in the Classroom”, Wednesday, October

Development Executive from Apple Computers. She has extensive
experience in teaching, curriculum and technology. The event gives
attendees the chance to learn from a nationally known expert in the
field of technology in the classroom. This event will offer other
presenters with hands-on opportunities and presentations on tentative
topics such as technology integration, reading and writing software,
graphic organizer software, and iPods used in the classroom. A complete
list will be available in the fall.
