The Final Frontier…Black Holes, Apps, and Other Anomalies Leslie Brown, Autism Specialist, HSE Office Of Exceptional Learners June 2017

“Launching Inquiry: the final frontier “Launching Inquiry: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship HSES Enterprise. It’s mission: to explore strange new learning; to seek out new ways of questioning and new explorations of probing for the good of all students; to boldly go where no learning has gone before." Final – or just beginning? Thinking about ALL learners We have iPads and technology in our hands – let’s use it for the greater good!

So many IDEAS, so little time! How do we stay out of the black holes? How do we stay on top of the anomalies? Today – WE PLAY! WE SHARE! WE EXPLORE!
