$10Nanci Shepardson – Lecture: What the Research Says About Which Technologies Support Learners with Dyslexia
8am-12pm
What does the research say about technologies that truly support the struggling reader, comprehender, speller, and writer? Based on the research, what tools are the best investment of our time, talent, and resources? While there may not be a lot of research behind individual products, there is well-done research that points out the best parts of technology to harness, in order to facilitate positive student outcomes. Come learn about what to look for when choosing a tool and see some examples of what to use with students with dyslexia. In this interactive three hour session, participants will learn about the research and then be able to explore different tools in order to apply the knowledge gained from the presentation.
There is an optional additional workshop after lunch to provide time to explore different tools more thoroughly. Bringing your own device will enhance this workshop.
