You have the best seat in the house to learn with educators around the world.
Over 110 Hangouts. Over 70 presenters.
All free on Google+. Education On Air. https://sites.google.com/site/
I could use a little help with this one. As you can see above, I'm going to be presenting a different type of topic than Google Earth in a Google+ On-Air Hangout on October 16. The subject is Chrome Apps for Assistive Technology and it falls under my current role as an Assistive Technology teacher. Assistive Technology is a growing area in the field of Special Education. It involves finding applications and devices that can enrich the lives of children with special needs. With the present boom in technology, there is a rapidly changing amount of possibilities.
In the Hangout, Christine Rosario and I will be highlighting a new website, ChromeToolbox.com, and its list of Chrome apps for Assistive Technology. The site was built by John Calvert and Mark Surabian. It reviews a number of apps for vision impairments, hearing disorders, ESL, developmental delays, and more. To watch the Hangout, go to my Google+ page on October 16 at 6pm Eastern.
Please pass this post on to any Special Education professionals or other interested persons that you may know. Most often there are helpful tools that exist but people just aren't aware of them. So please help me spread awareness of this great new resource.
