A free WordQ - Wordshark workshop in Hobart

Join us for one or more free workshops in which we will demonstrate the latest software to support your work with students who have language, literacy and learning difficulties. The workshops will focus on ways that the software can be used both at school and at home. It will explore some of the existing courses embedded within the program and how these can either be incorporated into an Individual Educational Program or adapted for everyday classroom activity. These workshops will be of interest to new users as well as those who may have used previous versions of these programmes. It will offer an insight into some of the valuable features that exist within the program and explore the support that these can offer. Participants are encouraged to bring along their own laptops with the software previously installed ready for use. The focus will be on Primary and lower Secondary school levels.
