Computer Lab Training Opportunities
Inclement Weather Policy!
We cancel on the basis of latest weather information from the media. If your school district is closed, then you shouldn't come. If either of the two major school districts close (Oklahoma City Public Schools or Tulsa Public Schools), the training will be canceled at that location. Due to the unexpected nature of the weather, we may not have time prior to a training to contact you regarding weather related cancellations. Please check with Oklahoma City or Tulsa news organizations for up to date information regarding school closings and use that information to confirm whether or not we will conduct our training. If in doubt, please contact Chuck Roberts at osdereg@ouhsc.edu.

Training Description: Oklahoma Alternative Assessment Curriculum Development Lab
As we all know, developing activities for the Alternative Assessment Program (OAAP) can be very taxing!! OATC wants to ease that taxing feeling by providing an opportunity for educators to take the adapted curricular materials we have developed and use our computers, printer and laminator to create activities to use with your students. We are offering open lab days every month to help provide activities aligned to the Performance Level Descriptors. We will provide basic instruction on how to access and modify the activities we have created. Participants will be able to pick up to four activities to print, laminate, and assemble. We also encourage you to bring YOUR activities and share them with US! Bring your flash drive so you can take home all the activities created by OATC as well as any activities created by other participants. Most of our activities are created in Boardmaker and it is highly recommended that you either have strong working knowledge of that program or have attended one of our Boardmaker computer labs.
*There is a $5.00 material fee for this lab payable at registration
