Adapted Learning Opens Tuesday


Adapted Learning, the new Boardmaker sharing website from Mayer-Johnson comes out of beta testing and into general use Tuesday (but you can sign up now).

As a community of people who support learners with special needs we should be very excited. A lot of time and effort went into this site and the designers really listened to the beta testers to make it everything it could possibly be. Beta testers were encouraged to upload as many boards and activities as possible (I have put up 66 and plan to add more tonight) so there are already lots of boards and activities to download and use. I am pretty excited that one of my board sets, a Now/Next schedule flip book, was chosen as an Editor's Highlight (that link probably won't work unless you are logged into Adapted Learning).

Feel free to use the "friends" feature to add me as a friend once you get online, my user name is teechkidz. I already sent out friend requests to some other bloggers and work colleagues.

P.S. Sorry about any confusion I caused when I originally posted this saying beta ended tomorrow. Opps. I am just very excited.

AT Boogie

Check out this very cool animated music video explaining what people with disabilities want from Assistive Technology called the AT Boogie. It made me tear up (especially, "give me teachers who can teach it.")

P.S. I tried my hardest to embed this into my blog, but the Jing screen recording would not load.

30 Days to Being a Better Blogger - Days 10 and 11

Decluttering the sidebar is complete. All of the individual resource lists have moved from the sidebar to individual blog posts and there are links to those from the sidebar. This makes the sidebar much shorter. A new list of the blogs I read has been added to the sidebar as well as the day 11 challenge, my e-mail address.

Have a great Saturday night!
