direction to the IACEA participants!

Mandy Dwyer, Cathy Kramer and Ramien Manson of Joliet Junior College provided an interesting IACEA session on integrating technology into tutoring, into the adult education classroom, and into Workforce Development program. Mandy and Cathy are Special Learning Needs Specialists as part of the ICCB Instructional Staff Professional Pathways. In this capacity, they serve as expert resources within their program providing insight into reaching the needs of special learners through effective instructional strategies. They also serve the entire state when they share interactive resources that can be immediately used to increase digital literacy among students, including those with adaptive needs. We certainly “like” the way they are teaching and reaching by providing inclusive instructional tools!
