Presentation night
I was curious to see how the groups would use kurzweil for their particular students. I was wondering how each level would use kurzweil. It was interesting to note the varying needs of students that use it and how they use it. I have used Kurzweil with many students over the past few years. It was great to use my role as Literacy coach to assist in creating a unit with Ian for another course for a student I know and have worked with. We wanted to show the group a bit more about Mac, and it was a learning experience for me not to have to scan in the article we found on EBSCO, but to create a PFD and then it was there and save some time using ADOBE. I must say I am asking Santa for a Mac. I think I am converted. We are looking at perhaps trying Kurzweil with Ben for writing tests.

Hi Paula,
Macs are also on my wish-list. I appreciated your presentation when you showed us another advantage to using that type of computer.
Thanks.
I LOVE the idea of trying kurzweil with Ben.... I should have thought of that...darn:)! Let me know how it works out. (I'm assuming you mean with bubble note answers etc.... and speeding up reading for him to access more information).
Hi Paula
I am definitely becoming familiar with all of the different AT programs that are out there and what is available to our students. Improving my understanding and comfort level with them definitely will make my life and job easier. Having Ian and yourself at the same school is great because we have such a strong support base for our students that will indeed improve the outcomes for all involved. Thanks for all your support and help over the past couple of months in making my transition to FHCS that much more smoothly.
