Tech in Action Videos

  • ISET is committed to disseminating new and original content to our members and the CEC community at large. In an effort to showcase all of our members’ areas of expertise, we have asked ISET members to submit videos to be showcased to facilitate the understanding and application of technologies.

    Below, you will find a host of videos. Each is a 3-5 minute overview of an effective practice that innovatively uses technology for struggling learners and their peers with disabilities. Organized under three topical areas for easier access, each closed-captioned video seeks to speak to the practitioner and family member need. Besides the video and its instruction, additional links are provided for further understanding of the practice, the technology innovation, and how to bring apply it to the classroom or home/community environment.

    If you are interested in learning how to submit your own video to the ISET Tech in Action Video series, please click here to learn more about the specific requirements and process.  Thanks for you considering such a submission.

    Re-designing instruction on the iPad with UDL & That data presentation (again :)

    “Unprecedented times”. This is a phrase that we are tired of reading, as educators and special educators.

    There is a silver lining though.

    With so much instruction occurring digitally in this past year, now is a time to reflect on the lessons of the last year–when you get a break and a moment to think, of course :).

    Now is a time to think about how we can re-design instruction for our students on iPads. Now is also a time to think about leveraging expressive and receptive data on our students, so that we can better differentiate  based on a student’s learning profile.

     

    Below are links to three sessions that I did recently with Infinitec (Illinois). The Illinois State Board of Education has funded a regional A.T. Practitioner’s conference for three consecutive years now. Thanks to both partners!

    I tried to boil each session down to its essence, so that you did not have to hear me say “um” 20 times :). I also included exemplars that were discussed in the third session.

    At ISET, we think there is fodder for discussion and collaboration. Feel free to share these links, and to discuss them with other educators and interventionists. In fact, feel free to reach out, if you would like ISET to facilitate sessions with special education administrators, teacher preparation programs, and continuing education programs.

    Let’s do this.
