ICE 2013 - Differentiation Using Cloud Apps

ICE 2013 is around the corner and it is time to register!  If you are in the Chicagoland area between Feb . 26 - Mar. 1 I encourage you to check out the the offerings.  I have been accepted to do a full day workshop - Differentiation Using Cloud Apps.  In this workshop we will explore apps like Evernote, TarHeel Reader and Google Docs to see how students can utilize the tools to be more successful. This full day workshop will give participants to use the tools and explore their features.

 I'll also be doing a breakout session on Thursday, Cloud Apps for Differentiation.  This session will take a look at the same apps from the full day workshop, but with only having 45 minutes we'll be talking about the apps, but not have a chance to use them.

You can register for ICE here - ICE 2013.  This year's conference theme is Meeting the Needs of all Learners: Today, Tomorrow and Next Year.  I'll again be heading the UDL playground, and encourage  you to stop by.  This year we've added some mini-presentations, UDL games, and more.  I'll post more information as the conference gets closer.

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.
