Google Docs for Special Education

I'd like to take a moment and share with you my latest presentation - Google Docs for Special Education.  This presentation covers the ways Google Docs can be used to Collaborate, Collect and Communicate with students, related service professionals and parents.

Diigo Groups

With ICE conference already started, and me joining the party tomorrow, I thought I'd again share some of the great Diigo Groups that I'll be sharing sites too.  Diigo is one of my favorite Web2.0 tools and I get a ton of information from these groups!

AT in Sped
Diigo in Education
Special Education Teachers
Special Ed in the 21st Century

Don't forget if you sign up to join a group, you will get an email containing the most recent links shared to the group, you just need to decide the frequency (immediately, daily, weekly or not subscribed).  If you plan to share links or just save sites for your own personal use I recommend checking out their browser extensions.

ICE Conference 2012 - #ice12

I have been very hard at work preparing for the upcoming ICE conference, here in St. Charles, IL.  What that means is that I've neglected this blog a little.  I am currently getting ready to help run the UDL Playground at ICE to show off the concepts of UDL and some of the great tools there are to support it.  It also means I get to meet a ton of great educators, and let them play with all sorts of gadgets!

One of the resources my collaborators and I have put together is this wiki - http://udlplayground.wikispaces.com.  This wiki is full of great resources for anyone to learn about and implement the ideas of UDL.  We've also included a slideshow with a few examples of UDL to show off during the conference.  If you think a resources is missing, please take a moment and fill out this short form - http://udlplayground.wikispaces.com/addresource.

I've also been working on a presentation for ICE - Google Docs for Special Education.  This presentation focuses on using Google Docs to Collaborate with students and other professionals, Collect data, and Communicate with all stakeholders.  More information on that in an upcoming post!

If you are at ICE, please take a moment to stop by the Marsalis Room (it's near the continental breakfast setup, by the pool!), check out our tools and say Hi!  I'll be doing my best to tweet from the conference, but I encourage you to check out the ICE conference Wiki (live coverage of sessions, including keynotes, and presenter handouts) and Ning for the latest information.
