ipads and ipods have arrived

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a great school year incorporating the UDL strategies into your instruction and lessons as well as the TI Nspire calculators. Because many were impressed with Dr. Guzide's demonstration of the ipod and ipad last summer, I order each of you an ipod (8 GB, 4th generation itouch) and an ipad 2 (16GB WiFi). Now we have to find a date, time, and place to meet so I can distribute and show you how to use this technology. We need to meet at a place that has WiFi access (hopefully free) but if I have to get charged to use it for this training session, I will do it. I looked into the hotel I stayed last summer, but their internet access is not consistently working. Hopefully we can meet on Monday or Tuesday next week for 2-3 hours that would be great. If anyone knows of a place in Romney or somewhere else (maybe someone has access to their school or if folks want to drive to this part of the state because I have connections and access in Martinsburg or Shepherdstown) to meet please let me and the group know.

So let me know if Monday (6/27) or Tuesday (6/28) works best for your schedule.

Thank you,

Dr. Wright
