Is the "Fair means giving everyone what they need" approach used in your school district? #ECG2016 #ATChat

KaraGuiff Jul 30 @ 10:05 AM EDT

Fair means giving everyone what they need is used in my district as long as admn says we can afford it #ecg2016 #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:06 AM EDT

Q1: When you think of inclusive tech, what does that mean to you and how do you decide what tech your Ss need? #ATchat #ecg2016

KarenJan - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:06 AM EDT

@mmatp Mike, you and I know how important this topic is. Wish there was more interest at a global level. #ATchat #ECG2016

A1: inclusive tech means tech that students can use anywhere, not just in sped - much easier since our school went 1-1. #ecg2016 #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:09 AM EDT

@specialtechie It's ok, you made it! (remember to add both hashtags - #ATChat and #ecg2016 when possible)

KaraGuiff Jul 30 @ 10:10 AM EDT

A1: I have individual discussions with Ss to determine what they r struggling with and look at tech options that may help. #ecg2016 #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:10 AM EDT

mmatp - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:15 AM EDT

Q2: How do we ensure all students have access to the technology they need? #atchat #ecg2016

specialtechie Jul 30 @ 10:19 AM EDT

A2: This is tricky. Seems to be easier to find resources for what they do have. Involve P's, T's, Admin. if more is needed. #atchat #ECG2016

mmatp - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:20 AM EDT

@KarenJan Yes! SETT is a tool everyone should use for AT consideration #ATchat #ecg2016

lrdichiara Jul 30 @ 10:21 AM EDT

A2: Absolutely! My challenge is not everyone knows it's an option&less tech savvy Ts shy away b/c of their own skills. #atchat #ECG2016

A2: advocate, advocate, advocate. . . and make sure we keep up to date on what is out there! #ecg2016 #ATchat

google voice is great for speech to text - but extensions can take things so much further (not sure if you consider those build in) #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:27 AM EDT

Yes,imp not to overlook those. Also, always explore the Accessibility tabs, icons, of your device. #ATchat #ECG2016 https://t.co/2LEYiSxCLS

mmatp - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:34 AM EDT

@EALStories That's a good point. We want the term to represent the fact that tools can help anyone. #ATchat #ecg2016

KarenJan - Moderator Jul 30 @ 10:35 AM EDT

@EALStories Good possibility. One problem is there's a federal definition of AT that protects Ss #ATchat #ECG2016 https://t.co/aMPjJzOfsr
