A weekly half hour chat focused on improving access to education for PK-12 students through the use of Accessible Educational Materials (AEM), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Assistive Technology (AT).
Hi. Kelil from Indiana, a @PATINSPROJECT Specialist in ASD, Aspergers, SLD, Chrome Accessibility, AEM, AT Integration and ur moderator 4 tonite #PatinsIcam
A1: Before I worked for PATINS this was one of my fav. events! I could check out new tech, network like crazy and enjoy a lovely lunch all at NO COST TO ME! #PatinsIcam
A1: It's a full day of opportunity to have hands-on experience with the latest AT...this Expo is vendor driven which is opposite of our state conference #PatinsIcam
Right! When I moved here and attended Access 2 Education I did not understand why there was not a vendor hall...after I realized it was a separate event I was so excited to not have to split my time! #PatinsIcam
Our attendees AND our vendor friends over the years actually requested we separate the two events ...Expo and Conference and only have vendors at one #patinsicam

Q3: My School District is on a tight budget and I won’t be prepared to buy anything. Is the Exhibit Hall full of vendors giving sales pitches? #PatinsIcam
A3: The vendor hall is full of vendors telling you what they have available for students and teachers. Some discounts available, no pressure to buy. #PatinsIcam
A3: Don't forget the PATINS Team will be there to talk with you and guide you! We're here for you! And we have a LENDING LIBRARY to borrow many of the cool things you'll see at the Tech Expo! #PatinsIcam

A4: anyone who might touch technology! Always happy to see parents, students, community members, pre-service teachers and therapists along with our long time regular school staff members #PatinsIcam
A4: All attendees benefit. We do have students who attend with their parents & it's a great way for that AT interaction on the spot for feature matching #PatinsIcam
A4: No Fair! That's a trick question. Everybody there benefits. I know I learn something new every year, and think about all the support our students receive from what their teachers learn! #PatinsIcam
A5: So happy to have INSource with us this year! I ALSO hear there is a special dance at this year's Tech Expo from one of @PATINSPROJECT longest serving staff! #PatinsIcam
Fact: @RachelH872 and I were essentially strangers before the tech expo and cemented our AT-and-redhead-bond over a boxed lunch between vendor sessions. Again, excellent networking opportunities! #PatinsIcam

A6: The beauty of Tech Expo is that you can and will learn if you are there 1 hour or all day. Take in sessions, exhibit hall, put your name in the barrel for prize drawings (you must be present to win, but all day drawings) and eat a box lunch #patinsicam
A7: You can come after your Case Conference that morning IF you bring questions about matching solutions to the student you were just talking about! There will be a quiz at the door. #PatinsIcam
A8: is there anywhere in Indiana that lines up this many national AT and tech companies in one room with vendor sessions? No, no even for free! #PatinsIcam
