Also thinking about a case that can have a key guard attached easily ]]> 2021-12-02 23:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926253867 HG https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926265079 This is from the district website under Technology & Innovation: One-to-One Technology for ALL Students. I noticed they made a point to put "all" in capital letters for emphasis. So, if that is the district's stance on it, I cannot understand how hard it is to get working iPads for students when a Chromebook is not appropriate. Asking for iPads in place of, not in addition to, Chromebooks has become a ridiculous battle that takes away from student learning. My low learners are not supported and given appropriate access to their education. I should not be the only opportunity the student has with a communication device. 30 minutes of speech/language therapy will not teach a child to communicate. I wish the technology and innovation department or administration could understand. I think the best place to start the dedicated communication device battle is getting iPads in our CBI/SEC classes that are not first generation iPads. We won't be able to know if they need a dedicated device until they have the opportunity to trial it. If we truly are implementing Free and Appropriate Education, that is equal to their peers, getting school-based iPads for those students should be the first step. ]]> 2021-12-02 23:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926265079 Functional pieces - HG https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926266581 3 week trial period across multiple settings with multiple communication partners and demands

agree with SD, have to have screen protectors! I can't keep my cell phone from cracking and I'm a "typically functioning adult"
also the accessibility is huge, I love standing it up so it is more natural and the strap helps carrying easier and helps kids from losing it]]> 2021-12-02 23:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926266581 https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926267991 clear expectations and training with all staff members, we can't do it alone]]> 2021-12-02 23:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926267991 I spent a great deal of time trying to get the students in the CBI classroom IPADS last year. I finally got 4 year old IPAD mini loaners from the school library after 2 months of back and forth emails between SPED supervisors and tech supervisors. It was exhausting and disappointing. I feel that secondary students often get overlooked, even though some weren't even in the district when they were young. Whatever process you choose, please don't forget our older students in the process. They deserve access, too! https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926664875 2021-12-03 04:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1926664875 https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1927513511 Priority to 3-5 grade students-regardless of regular/SEC placement that don't already have an iPad in class. That being said, I have 4 kindergarteners in reg ed and k-2 students in SEC that we don't have access to the app store on the iPad and tech refused to give it to us and Rachel. None of my students here right now have access to AAC apps unless they are with me in speech. I also cannot stress enough that, while I recognize that these are expensive programs, I have to have multiple system access in the classroom-not just for 30 min in speech- for my young students. How else can we trial things to see what works for them? ]]> 2021-12-03 14:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1927513511 AAC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1927723905 Kids who have been using them for months or years successfully should have first priority. Case with strap and keyguard as needed.]]> 2021-12-03 16:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1927723905 Yay! khamner2 https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1939329940 We will be thankful for any devices! Indestructible cases and screen protectors are definitely a must. Straps are not as high of a priority at this time. Any parent/teacher education that comes with the device during school hours would be wonderful :) ]]> 2021-12-10 00:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wroark/3ggbw5z1wml4hs3x/wish/1939329940
