Some people who may need Assistive technology are blind people, deaf people, and people with other disabilities. Without Assistive technology these people would struggle with learning and they could possibly feel like they can't do anything on their own. ]]> 2021-10-06 21:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797779948 csawye3 https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797781587 Assisitve Technology can be broken up into three categories. Low tech devices, mid tech devices, and high tech devices. Some examples of low tech devices are a walking stick and post it notes. These examples are low tech because they barley require any technology besides the persons ability to use it. Some examples of mid tech devices are a calculator and an audio book. These examples are mid tech because they require some technology. Some examples of high tech devices are things such as a speech to text and vice versa and a smart board. These examples are high tech devices because it requires a lot of technology to use. You would need a computer to use a speech to text app and for the smart board. ]]> 2021-10-06 21:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797781587 csawye3 https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797782050 Differentiated Instruction is when educators switch up the instruction a little bit to fit the classroom needs in a more efficient way. Educators switch up the instruction quite often because it all depends on how their students are feeling that day, or if they do not understand the lesson and it needs to be worked on longer. One thing teachers could do is make the classroom very comfortable for the children with lots of colorful fun things hanging up or comfortable chairs for the children to sit in while working in groups or alone. This helps students because it gives them motivation to want to learn. ]]> 2021-10-06 21:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797782050 csawye3 https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797782463 One example of Differentiated Instruction is including reading partners for the children to take turns reading and if they struggle with a word their partner could help them with it. Another example would be the teacher could meet up with small groups, like if a couple of students do not understand the concept the teacher could meet up with them and try and re-teach the concept. They could do this while other children are working on the worksheet for the concept. The last example I liked was the teacher could give the children options on how to learn a certain concept. The teacher could give options like write a story about what you learned, make a picture, or even use a computer platform to show your work like Padlet. ]]> 2021-10-06 21:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797782463 csawye3 https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797782872 Based off of what I have learned about Differentiated Instruction the importance of having it in the classroom is very high. It includes group work, independent work, and small groups with the teacher. This is important in the classroom because working alone shows how much a child knows and what they can come up with on their own. Working in groups shows everyones group thoughts and it helps the learning seem more organized because there is multiple brains involved. Lastly, working in small groups with the teacher allows the teacher to see who needs extra assistance and who is ready to move on. ]]> 2021-10-06 21:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797782872 csawye3 https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797783183 Assistive Technology is important in the classroom because it makes the classroom inclusive. If there was no assistive technology in the classroom it would prevent certain people from learning on their own. Having all the children together makes the students happy because it makes them feel included and not left out because of their disability. ]]> 2021-10-06 21:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797783183 csawye3 https://padlet.com/csawye3/8t0u8lhe3ldqgcvf/wish/1797784764 https://www.understood.org/articles/en/assistive-technology-what-it-is-and-how-it-works
