SPND 456 Tri Final Project

This is a brief recap with document link, basically a SETT framework,  about a writing group project that I am currently helping the OT with. The occupational therapist had a great idea to use some of her time to form a writing group, as this is something that a small group of boys needs to work on.

She wanted to use tech to help the boys write, but came up against many obstacles. Working together, we are now making progress and seeing smiles of success from the students at the end of the period.

This is a quick demo of using programming- Scratch - to make a game about Neuroscience. Still a little glitchy, but you get the idea.  You can remix it and fix it online.
