A3: The marriage of #UDL & #AT looks, sounds, and feels like flexible, accessible, inclusive, equitable, lifelong learning. You can have AT without UDL, but you can't have UDL without AT. #UDLchat

Did you know that several of @texthelp resources (i.e Read and Write) are available to all students in Nova Scotia? Now you can easily add the extensions when you look under the "HRCE" section of the GNSPES launch page.

Specialist teachers, if you are enrolled as a co-teacher in multiple Google Classrooms, and are getting a load of notification emails from each, go to your classroom.google.com page, click the 3 lines in the top left, scroll down to settings and turn off notification emails 😃

Google Meet Tip! You cannot see previous posts in the chat. Anyone who joins the Meet after something was posted will not see anything that was previously posted. Be sure to repost important information for students.
