The Oregon Technology Access Program (OTAP) is run by the Douglas Education Service District and sponsored by the Oregon Department of Education. The websites main purpose is to provide training, information, technical assistance, and resources to help disabled children with technology. OTAP's services are good for students from birth until twenty-one years old. The website also offers a parents, teachers, and services tab. They also have business services and video streaming.
This website looks really helpful for both educators and non educators like. It has a lot of awesome information available such as weekly professional development and you don't even have to live in Oregon to participate. I was especially interested in the writing workshop. It helps teachers find the best plan of action for their students to become better writers. Some of the suggested writing for secondary levels is "Show the drinking age be lowered from 21?" This is recommended to 11th graders and I think this would be a wonderful research paper topic. I remember being in 11th grade and writing a research paper on this very topic. It's something relevant to many high schoolers.
