Launch Week in Quesnel
Hi everyone
What a whirlwind three days. Our Quesnel team have enjoyed a fantastic three days of inservice, training, exploring, fun and food! Our week began with an overview of UDL beliefs and a podcast from CAST.
Thanks to SMART Technologies we were able to participate in three webcasts regarding our SMART Boards. It was great to have a very general introduction to using our SMART Boards. Thanks to Alex for a private lesson on Monday.
We also participated in a public session and learned the basics of Notebook software.
After lunch the team enjoying a glimpse into Inspiration (thanks Mark) and Kurzweil (thanks Constance).
Tuesday began with a discussion about the principles of UDL and where we fit in. The team were introduced to a variety of software programs purchased through the UDL project. Favourites include Thinking Reader, SOLO, Camtasia.
The group worked on a collaborative lesson plan for an English class. It was a great experience, working together as a team and planning a lesson we could all teach.
During our short three days we also visited a number of interactive websites. Check out the links listed on this blog to see some of them.
Thanks Everyone.
