https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7 Technologies or accessibility features I consider valuable to my future teaching and learning. en-us 2022-04-03 20:00:18 UTC 2022-04-03 21:16:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9e0.png jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127482419 Create adapted text! I love this idea that i read from this article because (in all honesty) I wish that I had adapted text for a majority of the texts assigned throughout the teaching program. They all have big words that I do not understand and they are so daunting to read that I never really gather the entire point of what the article (or peer-reviewed journal) was about. Use adapted text for your students to support their specific learning needs!]]> 2022-04-03 20:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127482419 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127495632 Use technology-based graphic organizers in the classroom. This does not only benefit students with learning disabilities but it rather benefits ALL LEARNERS! I would have loved on of these while writing essays in middle school and high school. This tool allows kids to sort out their thoughts while accessing assistive technology at the same time (text-to-speech, etc.). Kids have greatly improved the quality work they produce using these online graphic organizers. ]]> 2022-04-03 20:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127495632 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127501787 This article brought up a FANTASTIC point! The use of applications to bring manipulative into the math class is brilliant. It has many benefits including eliminating the need for connectivity (plug-ins), Internet, or concrete objects. The point that I loved in the article is that these applications also provide scaffolding for math learners. First they provide all the manipulative necessary for understanding an abstract concept, then they are eased away so that the student slowly becomes more independent in his/her understanding of the abstract concepts (eventually not needing the app at all maybe!). How cool!!!]]> 2022-04-03 20:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127501787 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127502987 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this website as it allows you to break down videos with questions, informally assessing student understanding of content. And it is so much fun to use!]]> 2022-04-03 20:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127502987 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127516705 This is a great AT app that allows nonverbal students to communicate through the use of symbols! ]]> 2022-04-03 21:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127516705 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127518554 This was a cool thing! This is a timer that you can set for regular intervals to prompt the user to notice whether or not they are on task. It can be set for up to 60 minutes and the intervals can be adjusted to the user. This is great for students with ADHD and other attention needs so that they can be self-aware of their focus!]]> 2022-04-03 21:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127518554 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127520961 Okay I am finding wayyyy too many good ones on this technology quest! This is Flip Writer. The user types anything onto their device and they can easily interact with someone across from them as it flips their words so the other person can see them instantly. It is a simple idea that reaps great benefits for those who need and use it! ]]> 2022-04-03 21:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127520961 jcpenney https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127523114 I read a lot about this one and it is for students with visual disabilities. It has big, colorful buttons and it verbalizes which button students fingers are looming over to assist them in finding the right number. ]]> 2022-04-03 21:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jcpenney/rtt1xytout4n6ez7/wish/2127523114
