Tech Tools Workshop: Note-Taking
The goal of the in-person Tech Tools Workshop is to give SDRC students an opportunity to get a one-hour hands-on training/support by Accessible Technology (AT) Specialist.
These sessions will support collaborative learning and maximize time/space within our center. Having an in-person interaction allows the AT Specialist to address misconceptions and provide direct support. AT Specialist will support and facilitate a positive learning environment that will encourage students to consult more regularly with SDRC for their AT needs.
Hosted every Thursday from 11AM - 12PM this October.
