Apps, Mobile Devices, Special Services, and PLNs

Mobile devices and apps can make a positive impact on specialized instruction. This can be observed in a myriad of positive interventions in multiple classroom settings. Apps for the iPad are numerous. The individualized Professional Learning Network (aka PLN) for all content areas is something that we must promote with our teachers and administrative teams.The link below directs you to Spectronics' blog article "Integrating iPads Into Your classroom: For learning Support & Special Education". The article provides an endless list of apps and programs that will benefit the Special Services Department and students within our schools. Through the PLN teachers can discover information such as this:

By simply tapping into this rich resource our teachers will discover an entirely new wealth of information and support which is literally at their finger tips. As I scrolled through the article was taken aback by the depth and breadth of the information and technology that was available from this single resource. SO, just imagine what is "out there" if this is indicative of one single article, website, Blog and/or Twitter post. It's just another way for educators to take that next step into discovering new ways to enrich education for our students and themselves alike.
