Tequipment: Blogging About SMART Boards, Resources, Lessons, Training, Games

April 2, 2009 is the second annual World Autism Awareness Day — a day declared by a UN resolution with the goal of bringing the world’s attention to autism. Visit the website for the day’s agenda and take a virtual walk for autism with Nick Jr.’s Wubbzy at his Walk with Wubbzy site.

Help us spread the word about some wonderful resources for students with Autism that you can use on your SMART Board!

• Zac Browser: The first web browser designed specifically for children with autism, PDD, PDD-NOS, and autism spectrum disorder.
• do2Learn: Games, songs, communication, and picture cards for students with special needs.
• Reactive Colours: A great site for visual learners that draws on shapes and images that appeal to children and that simulates elasticity, gravity, and velocity. Children can explore this site on a SMART Board by using their hands to manipulate objects and colors while receiving instant feedback.

Don’t forget to check out Autism Speaks and World Autism Awareness Day for more information.
