Internship reflections: TF VI.B



Assist teachers in selecting and applying appropriate technology resources to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, and abilities.
Meet with behavioral skills teacher to help utilize software to create lessons on behavior skills.

Many of the behavioral skills teachers on my campus are interested in the iPad for their Autistic students. I began researching iPads in education and started sharing the information with the resource team.  I have shared those resources with many interested teachers: http://www.diigo.com/list/leanneknight/iPad-resources.  I truly appreciated several “Live Binders” that specified iPad resources for special education students and teachers such as: http://livebinders.com/play/play/89854.  We are in the process of allocating funding and getting approval to implement iPads at our school. We already use a 1-1 PC laptop environment in our third and fourth grades. This would benefit a specific population of students who might benefit more from this tactile piece of equipment.
