This workshop is for all special and general education teachers, technology coordinators, child study team members occupational therapists, and parents of students with handriting challenges.
Description of Experience
Taking notes and completing writing assignments can be a frustrating task for many students who struggle with handwriting. Integrating appropriate writing tools in the classroom can help alleviate the stress frequently associated with the daunting task of legible handwriting. Let’s get students focused on the task at hand – learning the material – and allow technology to help support the often difficult and time-consuming task of notetaking.
Participants will explore all types of handwriting aids from low-tech adapted pens and paper to mid-tech portable note takers through high-tech digital white-boards. Come explore the technologies hands-on.
