Most students learn unevenly. Sometimes lags in skills can keep students from engaging in the joys of more complex and richer work; sometimes students need the support of a well-targeted computer learning game to help solidify foundational skills. Recently, there has been an explosion in the many ways technology can assist in student learning. This workshop is designed to acquaint parents with current technology resources for students.
Participants in this workshop will learn about the various ways their child can access audio books in school and at home. Information on free websites that offer audio books will be presented. Virtual libraries through the local public library along with Bookshare and Recording for Blind and Dyslexic students will be explored. In addition, two new programs that are available in school to support reading and math will be demonstrated. Symphony Math and Lexia reading are web delivered programs that support math and reading skills. Also, free websites that support student learning will be discussed.
