Manasquan Public Schools to present workshop: Technology Support for Learning

Schools are moving towards the integration of technology throughout the curriculum. With this paradigm shift, more classroom activities are being completed using technology. What does this shift mean for students? How do we ensure that the needs of ALL learners are met?

Sponsored by the Manasquan Friends of Different Learners, this workshop will explore technology supports that could benefit students in the areas of reading, writing, note taking and organization. Participants will experience an array of hardware tools along with apps and software for Apple, Android, Windows and Chrome. By leveraging the power of education technology, along with some specific modifications, we can make significant customization to meet the unique needs of each student.
