Option 2: Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability.One way that I've used technology to assist with a student's learning has been through the use of his IPad. This young man has assisted learning devices on his IEP and will bring in his IPad to use when writing out assignments in class. Within my class I have the students write their own scripts within each period. So this means that each day the students would come into class and pick up where they left off in their scripts. This young man will use his IPad to type up any notes for his group or the entire group will log on with their phones/laptops and work along with him using Google Docs. Therefore, they all are helping to complete their scripts.

Theatre lends itself so completely to both Cooperative Learning and Peer Partnering since acting students are often working on various scenes in class. Peer Partnering would work perfectly when assigning duet scenes whereas Cooperative Learning is the best way to have students work on a group ensemble acting scene. When a student with disabilities works with a peer partner on a duet scene, he/she is not having to worry about performing in front of everyone. He/she can focus on learning the scene and interacting with just one other person. When the duet is performed in front of the entire class, the student with a disability has already built some confidence working with just one other person.
Although Cooperative Learning requires the student with a disability to be in a bigger learning environment, it is still a safe space. Theatre is based on collaboration, and Cooperative Learning used for ensemble acting scenes is all about collaboration.

Having a student with dyslexia, it's important for her to have access to scripts in advance, I am able to share those scripts with her electronically, making them more accessible, allowing her to zoom in and isolate sections where appropriate.

I had a student with down syndrome in my theater class that was absent a lot due to medical issues and treatments. We were able to set up facetime mini-lessons during my planning. I was also able to keep in contact via email with her mother. She would send work and videos to me when she was able (a few responses from her hospital bed). This allowed her to keep up with the rest of the class, as well as lift her spirits during long stays. The best part was it was before covid, so i felt like an expert when we went virtual.
