iPad Summit Session Resources

Educational Session Ma...iPad Resources
Written By Janice Reese

We had a terrific turnout for both of our introductory level sessions Using the iPad in Special Education, as part of our new  "iPad Summit" series. If you attended either of these presentations this summer or just want to learn more about the iPad, you will want to look at the Livebinder file containing the powerpoint presentation we used.  Located under the first tab, titled Instructional Materials, the ppt is broken into Part 1 and Part 2 on the gray sub-tabs, as it was too large for loading in one unit.   Valerie Pearce, my good friend and local 'communication app expert', offered an individual session during our May 10th  event and an earlier post contains the direct links for all of the AAC apps she showcased, as well.This binder is full of additional resources to help you learn more about using the iPad in the special education setting and is updated regularly as we find other materials that support the use of the iPad in the classroom.

My name is Janice Reese and I LOVE assistive technology! I worked as an Occupational Therapist for more than 15 years, earned a Master’s degree in Education Technology, and I’m RESNA certified as an Assistive Technology Profession (ATP). I have worked in the school system for many years now and I love using technology to enhance the lives of children with disabilities. Since my first love is teaching, I’ve spent just as much time training wonderful teachers everywhere to use these tools in their classrooms. AT4Kids, llc was founded in 2008 in an effort to provide quality instruction and resources for teachers, therapists, student users and parents who wanted to know more about using AT.

I currently serve as Director of the Center for Assistive Technology, a state-supported program of the Little TN Valley Educational Cooperative. LTVEC is a non-profit agency whose goal is to provide rehabilitation services and accessibility supports for students with special needs in east Tennessee. My AT4Kids blog is designed to be as a one-stop resource for ideas and information for those wanting to learn more about the use of AT with children in the special education setting.

I hope to offer helpful hints, program and product reviews, AT recommendations, links to great new finds on the web, and lists of resources for “all things AT”.
