I was reading through the eSchoolNews yesterday and discovered what appears to be a great resource for teachers, administrators, students, parents and technology personnel alike. What is it you ask?

 

It is a website called Atomic Learning. To quote their site: “Atomic Learning provides web-based software training for more than 110 applications students and educators use every day. Our short, easy-to-view-and-understand tutorials are an integral part of a professional development program, a valuable curriculum supplement, and an anytime/anywhere training resource.”

 

As if that wasn’t awesome enough; Atomic Learning has an assistive technology collection that: “includes short, show-and-tell video tutorials that empower educators to use and apply assistive technology. The foci of these tutorials are:

 

Special education software

Assistive technology devices

Software accessibility training tutorials

 

But wait that’s not all, for a limited time only they are offering a free 7 Steps to a Flat Classroom, online workshop that includes over 80 (I stopped counting) tutorials for well over 2 hours of free professional training.

 

BUT WAIT that’s still not all – if you act now you can use this incredible program for 14 days free. That’s right folks, you can enjoy 100% access to Atomic Learning – including the Technology Skills Collection of over 37,000 software training tutorials on more than 110 common applications and the Assistive Technology Collection featuring on-demand training for special education software, assistive technology devices and accessibility features – FREE for 14 days at: http://movies.atomiclearning.com/k12/7sfc_wb2

 

I wish I could say that you could get all of this for just $19.95 once the trial period was over, but alas, you can’t. A year’s subscription is $99.00 for the Technology Skills collection and $149.99 for the Assistive Technology collection. However, given the cost of attending workshops, conferences, or graduate level classes, overall, it seems to be a good deal.

 

I signed up for the 14 day free trial and will be checking out many of the assistive technology tutorials. I will be posting updates on what I discover.
