I've learned so much about Dyslexia - I've just finished full-time working in a small village school where **training opportunities were limited by financial constraints** and now that I am a supply teacher there will be even less opportunity to attend training courses. I think **all LEAs should adopt this approach** - thank you very much.” > > — Webinar participant ## Sharing recordings {id=pptx-2aa82febd73c-011} - Drop.io - Viddler.com, YouTube, etc. - WebEx, Elluminate – special format for review ## Where to try (attend) {id=pptx-2aa82febd73c-012} - GoToWebinar.com (Free 30-day trial, training webinars) - LearnCentral.org (Free Elluminate non-profit webinars) - DimDim.com (Free account for up to 20 attendees) - Acrobat.com (Free web conference for up to 3 people) ## Thank you!
