This document is a presentation by Rick Weinberg on whether students with learning differences need an iPad. Weinberg discusses that the decision depends on factors like student goals and needs, affordability, and the student's gifts. He notes concerns like overreliance on technology and a lack of planning. Weinberg focuses on helping with reading and writing challenges, discussing tools like speech-to-text, graphic organizers, Bookshare.org and public library resources that can aid students both on computers and mobile devices. The presentation provides an overview of assistive technologies and resources that can support students with learning differences.

Keynote for Google Teacher Academy - 7 steps to a flat classroom. I talk about the steps for teachers to "flatten" their classrooms based upon the award winning Flat Classroom project (http://flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com), Horizon Project (http://horizonproject2008.wikispaces.com), and Digiteen Projects (http://digiteen.wikispaces.com).
Musings on the changing character of Britain's cultural landscape. It is a plea to the retail shed builders to look at themselves and begin to respect their potential customers. It is a warning to the potential customers of ASP-Host and Web Solutions. It is a plea to the Law Society to put the upholding of the law at the top of their agenda rather than the protection of their cartel. The presentation is amusing yet serious. If you like it, spread the word and pass it on. Thanks.

Webinar - Digital Skills for Older Adults: Teaching Technology in Public Libr...TechSoup
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and libraries!
Does your library offer technology assistance to older adults? Do you teach computer classes for seniors? Are patrons bringing in tablets and other devices that have been given to them by grandchildren? Recent research from the Pew Institute shows that only 59% of older adults go online. New technologies can be difficult to learn, and older adults may not understand the benefits of using technology. But libraries can help older adults adopt technology in meaningful ways for communication, lifelong learning, and entertainment.
Join us for this free webinar to learn how your library can help older adults learn to use new technologies. You will hear from the St. Mary's County Library (Maryland), which is providing older adults with effective training and technology assistance. This library will share examples of successful programming, as well as tips for working with older adults. You will also learn about TechBoomers, a free website that offers technology training tutorials developed specifically for older adults. Come hear examples of how this site is being used by libraries to supplement programs and services, and to help increase staff’s confidence in being able to help patrons.

Webinar: Measuring Program Outcomes: A Toolkit for Small Libraries-2016-05-04TechSoup
Public libraries offer vital services to the community that provide opportunities for education, lifelong learning, literacy, digital skills, workforce development, and youth development. In order to gain and retain funding, libraries should have data to support their stories of success and positive impact on the lives of community members. Outcome measurement is a process which provides libraries with data that can be used for advocacy, programming decisions, and planning, so the library can communicate clearly and make improvements to programs and services. Outcome measurement can be a big undertaking, but a new toolkit has been developed to help libraries easily and effectively survey patrons to learn the true impact of their programs.
This free webinar provides an overview of outcome measurement from Project Outcome, a new program from the Public Library Association, that provides simple tools so libraries can measure programs across seven common service areas.
This presentation was given for Eduwebinar. The topic was Backchannels in the classroom. The session looked at the nature of backchannels, how and why to use them, the benefits/challenges and some tools that can be used.
Classroom stories are shared

5. Well, it depends
1) goals of and for the student
2) student's needs
3) what are the person's gifts
4) what’s affordable
6. Why am I doing this?
• Lack of plan
• Personal Reasons
• Some Observations
• Making a mobile device not mobile
• The wow factor
• Instruction vs. Compensation (Brian Wojcik and Dave Hohulin)
• Bloom’s Taxonomy

8. Here is what I mean
QuickTime™ and a
libx264 decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
10. Dyslexia Research
• A decade ago, Shaywitz, author of Overcoming
Dyslexia, demonstrated in her research that fully
one in five students has the condition, with males
and females sharing it in roughly equal numbers.
Dyslexia makes it difficult for a person to retrieve
or correctly order the basic sounds, or
"phonemes," of spoken language (like the "k,"
"aah," and "t" sounds that make the word cat, for
example).
11. Does your student need help writing?
1) Does the child need physical help
with the act of writing
2) Does the child need help with idea
acquisition?
3) Does the Child need help with
“getting ideas down on paper?”
12. If the Student Needs Head Tracking

AVC Coding decompressor
