Monarch Teaching Technologies is sponsoring this informational 2 hour workshop demonstrating their VizZle web-based resources for students with Autism/PDD and English Language Learners. VizZle has over 4000 lessons, many created by practitioners available—every one searchable in multiple ways so staff can find, review, and assign them appropriately—the researchers also built in a number of personalizing tools, such as the ability to add/individualize a lesson (including different languages), create totally new lessons where none met an individual’s needs, using the 15,000+ images in their bank, and finally—when possible, sharing the new lessons back so others could use them. Attendees will be provided with a free 30 day access to the program.
