CESA is offering a series of online webinars aimed at enhancing learning outcomes for all students through improved teacher understanding and use of assistive technologies. The webinars will be facilitated by the Learning Diversity and Equity Team and the Technologies Education Advisor in partnership with Apple and Microsoft. Major development by both partners over recent years has resulted in a range of embedded tools for students to support their learning.
In collaboration with interested participants, CESA will develop a suite of case study videos demonstrating the practical application of technologies in the classroom that support student learning and improved outcomes. Participants are welcome to register for either or both webinar series.
