The Twitter Discussion

@jw_teach Lots of resources available via pln! I also have great school advisers in my zone. #SpEdSC
— Robyn Wolstenholme (@robbiewols) October 10, 2015

Including a link to @SPELDVic

#spEdSC understand your students, inspiration for inclusion comes; collaboration with staff; #twittercommunity https://t.co/KpuSWS4cts
— Amy Jeetley (@amyjeetley) October 10, 2015

@jw_teach tessenshow always have lots! Spent a fortune today there! #SpEdSC
— Jenny (@PadronPepperz) October 10, 2015

A Shoutout to Pinterest, always a bad decision if you have work to be doing!

I find a lot of resources on Pinterest. Uncool I know, but heaps there #SpEdSC https://t.co/EBUUsSeuyP

Great SEN resources via subscript'n to email lists, local library, disability-based org's, Fb pages, Internet research & SEN pro's #SpEdSC
— Kelly Family (@KellySCC) October 10, 2015

Kelly Family @KellySCC also mentioned laminating and Velcro – Not to be overlooked. Making your own is the way we all seem to go.

@jw_teach creating your own is easier…unless a tech based programme has it all #SpEdSC
— Lauren (@LaurenCasey_LMC) October 10, 2015

I also find creating my own are best. It means they're very contextual and relevant to needs of students #SpEdSC https://t.co/cDv2LWQaoR
— Amanda Meyer (@243Rin) October 11, 2015

#SpedSC https://t.co/bTSrnjcghF

The Ideas just kept coming.

@reachoutASC @jw_teach there are also worksheets on @EducationCity as well as ThinkIts which make great starters #SpEdSC
— Lauren (@LaurenCasey_LMC) October 11, 2015

@jw_teach I hope the answer is here! http://t.co/LjDu1sM1LN FREE, widely differentiating resources. Via lots of lovely follk. #SpEdSC
— Joanna Grace (@jo3grace) October 11, 2015

#Spedsc resource wise, I know lots of people are having fun making gak for sensory work: https://t.co/tfPZW0PC5G more ideas on my Facebook
— Joanna Grace (@jo3grace) October 12, 2015

My facebook page has ideas for sensory resources you can make yourself or buy cheaply #Spedsc https://t.co/T0ZQbPj0Zs

What about an improvised light box? Fairy lights, baking paper and a plastic clip lid box? #SpEdSC pic.twitter.com/IBOO1EeUbG
— Joanna Grace (@jo3grace) October 12, 2015

Another improvised light box, making minimalist exploration activities more engaging. #Spedsc pic.twitter.com/PmO9G7VIlD

#spedsc to the tune of: "catch a falling star and put it in my pocket" a use for the packaging around ink cartridges. pic.twitter.com/u05jggChBX

My favorite teaching resources right now are @lessonpix & @HelpKidzLearn CM3: My Ss will try almost anything in the form of a game #SpEdSC
— teach w/ disability (@gallianstone) October 14, 2015

Twitter & projects like #DotDay15 & #GRA15 have been amazing #inclusion spaces this year since we have no local PS access any more #SpEdSC
— teach w/ disability (@gallianstone) October 14, 2015

@jw_teach Twitter!! It's the best! #SpEdSC
— Jenny (@PadronPepperz) October 14, 2015

.@HelpKidzLearn now it's the best motivator I've got! Use CM3 & Ss show what they know even when the content/task is non-preferred #SpEdSC
— teach w/ disability (@gallianstone) October 15, 2015

Talking to staff, connecting with parents, online information, through PL and through Twitter connections #SpEdSc https://t.co/MCh9vYKmDC
