Week+9+-+E-Companion+Assignment


 * E-Companion Assignment - Due 11/10/11**



The Assistive Technology Industry Association is holding their annual conference this week in Chicago. In order to learn about the exciting developments in the world of Assistive Technology, I am asking you to join the Twitter universe!!!

__**There are two ways to complete this week's assignment:**__


 * 1. Access information about the conference via Twitter.**

Do you have a Twitter account already? If so, search the term #atia11 to follow the conversation about technology discussed at the conference.

Want a Twitter account? Visit the website and create your name. Then search the term #atia11 to follow the conversation about technology discussed at the conference.

If you are on Twitter - make sure to follow me @mmatp


 * 2. Don't want to join Twitter? That's OK - go to this link:**

@http://hashtags.org/

Type in the hashtag: #atia11

You will then be connected to a constant stream of Tweets from the conference without signing up for Twitter.


 * Now..... for the assignment:**

Once you are connected to the hashtag stream, I want you to select the three most interesting things you learned from this (new products, ideas for implementing AT in the classroom, etc)

Then on the top of this WIKI page, click the button that says Discussion and post your comments to the message board.

I expect everyone to post their findings up to the message board - and make sure to put your name on the post.

I expect you to read through the responses from your classmates and respond if you have something to add!

Have fun!
