The Least Dangerous Assumption -Cerebral Palsy Foundation Video

Back at ATIA 2017, I was invited to record a video for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation as part of their ongoing video series. I chose to talk about a concept called the Least Dangerous Assumption authored by Anne Donnellan and expounded upon on Cheryl Jorgensen in a follow-up article. The Foundation then took my raw footage and turned into something watchable (and, I hope if you like it, also shareable). Here’s the final cut! I hope I did the concept justice.

Here’s a big thank you to the Foundation for inviting me to record the video and to Karen Janowski for connecting us! Thank you Karen!

Marketing for “The Practical (and Fun) Guide to Assistive Technology in Public Schools”

Hello everyone,

No new podcast episode with this post but I do have some book related news.  The Practical (and Fun) Guide to Assistive Technology in Public Schools comes out in April 2010.  You can pre-order your copy now from www.iste.org/chewat.  Over the next few weeks there will be much more information coming out about the book, the content within, and ways you can help spread the word to other educators about the book.  Here is just a taste of what is coming down the pike, not necessarily in this order:

1. Table of Contents

2.  Book Excerpt – Chapter 6: Choosing Assistive Technology Teammates (.PDF version)

3.  Book Excerpt – Chapter 6: Choosing Assistive Technology Teammates (.mp3 version)

4. “Practical” Video Trailer

5. “Fun” Video Trailer

6. Bookmarks for Bloggers —>Download the Complete Set of Bookmarks!

and more!

In order to get the word out about the book, it is our hope that you will spread these files around, sharing them with other educators who might be interested in the content.  Feel free to send them out via e-mail, post to your favorite social networking site (like Facebook or Twitter), tell people about them on listservs, have discussions on forums, and  print out paper versions to give other educators!

Thanks in advance and I hope you enjoy the experience of reading the book as well as helping it become a success!
