I liked how you classified and organized the tools and also how you used gloster to present them. I am working on a project to make a directory suite of online tools to give to students, b/c I find we have all these great tools but we forget and loose track of all of them. How do you overcome this challenge?
Thanks
Hi Jennifer –
What an outstanding set of resources, I absolutely love learning about new tools. I have already shared your presentation link with our special education coordinators and look forward to working with them and others to utilize many of the tools you address.
Thank you for your great presentation!

I especially appreciated your mashups. You mentioned the links were on your Web site. Which ones at the end of the video?
Jennifer,
Your presentation is so timely! Our district is meeting this Friday to discuss implementing UDL strategies in our classrooms. I’ll be sure to share the link to your presentation!

I’m glad that you are all finding this presentation to be useful.
To Ken – this is the link to the Glog that will branch off to everything else. http://agapejen.glogster.com/Ways-to-Support-Literacy/
To Alex – That is something I struggle with all the time. I wish there were ONE clearinghouse, but there’s not. Many people have started wikis and bookmark lists that we all sort of share. Very good question and I would love to hear other’s responses to your question.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
What a great presentation! I’m retired but still very active with our Association’s Battle of the Books program. I was interested in learning about tools to help students become more involved in enjoying reading. You have provided lots for me to investigate. Thanks so much.
As a sped teacher and tech coordinator I found your presentation very helpful. With so many resources it is not easy to keep up. I will be sharing this with the other special ed teachers in the team.
Thanks Jennifer. Great presentation.
