A good question is how will I use these technology applications to improve learning experiences for ASD and MOCI students and/or improve my own practice. t The pdf converters are needed occaionally to make a document I receive usable. I wouldn't use Google calendar at this time since I use the Groupwise calendar.
MACUL space is a resource I will check into from time to time to stay current and since others from my District are going to the upcoming conference in GR I might join them. LearnPort is required for GRPS staff to use for registering for courses. I don't think my Facebook ABA group is very helpful right now but I may have an opportunity to use it more. MEL is a great resource I already knew about and used to get lexile scores of particular books or to find books in certain topics with a certain lexile range. I will definitely use Bibme to reference resources that I often share with staff in the weekly happenings.
I signed up for an RSS aggregator--iGoogle--but right now feel like I am in information overload so may not be consulting it too much. The idea of a virtual classroom is great--staff can be more organized and provide some neat opportunities for students. I can use this idea to manage resources and communication with staff to be more effective.
The visual strategies such as Bubble.us, Gliffy, Wordle and Tagxedo would be very useful for learners with disabilities.
I am looking forward to doing some screencasting to communicate with staff.
The one of the seven things that I would like to describe an activity for is screencasting with Jing. I would use it to communicate to staff how to use the Unique Learning System website assessments. This would help teachers become more tech savvy so they can apply all the technology standards in their classrooms. This would be a good way to use the strategy of non-linguistic representations in the teaching I do with staff.
