Beyond Games and Puzzles
ETNI & ORT have joined forces to give the first on-line course in Israel that explores the new world of fully integrating technology for SEN students in the EFL classroom.
During this summer, a group of teachers were invited to begin the on-line course face-to-face in Tel Aviv. And during the past few months, a select group of dedicated and talented teachers have been breaking new ground to learn how to "really" make the Internet a place for SEN students. So take a peak. . . let us know what you think! We hope to continue these kind of efforts.

In Israel
A joint effort of ETNI and ORT, this 84 hour on-line course teaches teachers how to integrate technology, especially assistive technology into the EFL classroom for SEN students
Around the World
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Want to learn how to teach SEN, especially using technology. SNOW is the place to go!
These moderated and unmoderated, "free" courses are such wonderful resources. Meet people all over the world who are learning to work with SEN students in a variety of capacities. The teachers are highly skilled and friendly, and courses are constantly improved and expanded.
One of the SNOW initiatives, this is one of the best resources on the web to learn about accessible web pages and applications.
Empowerment Zone is a great example of what a SEN site should look like, while providing the kind of content that every student wants.
