I way I use technology is by utilizing Schoology. I create folders for vocabulary, practice, videos, quizzes and tests. The students use the calendar to pace completion of their tasks. With our school going to all online for the Corona virus, i am going to create weekly folders with timelines and tasks. All the resources will be in one place.

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 describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability. One way I have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in my art classroom is using the iPad lab. OHI disability affects his fine motor skills and using apps that cut and paste images to digital art forms really helps the student participate in creating a collage with less frustration than using actual scissors.

Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name and describe how they could be used to address a student with a disabilities needs.
Two strategies that were discussed that I have used in the classroom are Venn Diagram graphic organizers and Peer Partners. The Venn Diagrams help students with disabilities organize their thoughts when comparing and contrasting things. Students are able to list what is different about the subject matter and what is similar or the same. Once the information is listed, it's easier for the student to understand the differences and similarities. Using Peer Partners is another great strategy. Students are more comfortable getting help from their peers. Therefore, feeling more at ease to ask questions and not being afraid to do something "wrong." So, if a student with a disability has a peer partner to assist him/her, that students tends to be more successful at completing challenging tasks. Assigning a Peer Partner a student with a disability with a student who has mastered a skill that he/she may be struggling with is very beneficial and can yield great rewards.

Two strageties I would use are peer partners and differentiated learning. I like to partner students up with clay projects and have them problem solve together and allow the student that is without disabilities feel like they can help another student with simple tasks of how to shape and form clay or more involved tasks such as how to properly use a slab roller or other equipment for making a clay project. The other strategy is differentiated learning for the student in a clay class that is not able to complete the task but understands the process I would adjust the assignment to their learning style.

Two strats that I use often in my Art classroom are letter strategies & story maps. I find these work extremely well with so many of my learners. They are both "hands-on" (drawing/writing it out) in nature, and yet we can read from these instructional learning tools as a class. Studying the elements & principles of art and design or the colors of the rainbow becomes a fun learning experience. A sequence of letters that each symbolize a word-or a mnemonic Strategy-ROYGBIV- (red, yellow, blue....and so on) makes it easier for the students to remember the colors We also use story maps in class and each student works with a peer partner to problem solve and create the map based on a subject of study. My students with disabilities truly learn from this experience-#1- to be working with and learning from their peer; #2 an easy & fun device that we can use and reinforce in class to help remember important facts about art.

I had a student with fine motor skill developmental disabilities. His hand writing was generally unreadable, often even by the student himself. For research and essay writing, I provided a computer and keyboard for the student to type his research information, and then write his essay. This solved the readability issues, promoted engagement with the work, and engendered pride in the student. This allowed the student to express his learning and ideas clearly, revise and edit more rapidly, and also organize and save files for future use and study.

There are a handful of students in my classes who have developmental disabilities and I've found that incorporating Photoshop has been extremely beneficial in their learning and levels of comfort with certain projects. Using technology keeps them more engaged than when we are doing more hands-on projects. We do a few photography assignments each year and I have a borrowed laptop cart that they get so excited to experiment with. Not only do they get to use the photos they took but they also get to edit and revise their work in a calm and private environment.

The two strategies that I could implement in my classrooms would be the Task Cards and the Letter Strategy. The Task Cards could help the students work in groups with specific tasks of responsibilities...and even help them with the beginning specific procedures. This would help ALL students know exactly what is expected for the lesson/procedure. The Letter Strategy would be helpful when going over story design...like learning exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution. When students organize their skits, they can remember the letter strategy to know how to make the story more well rounded and complete.
I already use a lot of the listed strategies but these two are new and I would like to try to implement them as something new.

I have used task cards as well as chaining and cooperative learning. These strategies are often effective because they give the student support, and at the same time greater freedom and independence. It also help their self-esteem and their ability to interact with the skills and content on a positive social platform that is non-threatening.

2. I have used Microsoft forms to create an assessment that provided my students with immediate feedback and did not allow them to continue to the next question to continue practicing the wrong skills, because students would be lead to another aligned question that challenged only if they got the answer correct. But, if they got the answer wrong it did not allow students to move ahead until they have mastered the skill.

I had a student who was on the Autism Spectrum. He was struggling with traditional pencil and paper drawing lesson. I spoke with his mother and she told me he loved to draw but for some reason he was doing a lot better with his ipad using Procreate program with Apple pencil. He was able to completed all the required asignment and more. Family members are the best resource to tap into to find ways to work with students.

Because I have a variety of ESE students in the blended classroom I have created short target specific software techniques that match the lecture and required tasks for assignments. This allows the learners to follow along at an individual pace leading to a successful final assignment. Chaing the software assignments allows the learner to revisit and build upon prior knowledge. Allowing the learner to have access to these progressive sequential tutorials aids in becoming an independent learner.

I have used technology in multiple ways to address the needs of all my students. When I was still in brick and mortar my classes were so mixed in ages, backgrounds, abilities, disabilities and the list keeps going. I decided, since our school was one-to-one with computers to create a website for all our lessons. Instead of teaching live I created in depth demos with additional skill based videos, visuals, links etc. for students to work through at their own pace (pausing, rewinding etc) and as needed. I saw such a shift in the quality of work because students were able to learn at their individual rate while I could spend the entire period circulating the room and adding additional support. Another way tech has helped was with one of my special needs students, they had an IPAD and were able to use their finger to draw the assignments. They were able to apply different media (paint, pastel, colored pencil etc) through the app they had.

I could use "Discovery Learning" to further assist in the learning of art criticism by giving each group a piece of art to explore and some prompts.
At my school, we are currently learning about Microsoft Teams and Notebook. I could created an E-Center (Learning Center) within these platforms by creating small groups within the team channels and posting some activities for their collaborative space.

One strategy I use frequently in my high-school art classroom is the Mnemonic Instruction tool of "Letter Strategy." While studying Feldman's Method of Art Criticism, students come up with a (funny) phrase to help them remember the 4 steps in order. For example, "Dance Always in Jammies" or "Dogs are Igloo Jumpers" helps students remember DAIJ (Description, Analysis, Interpretation, Judgement). We take the "Letter Strategy" one step farther and draw a picture that corresponds to their phrase (they will draw a colored picture of a dog jumping over an igloo, writing their phrase and the 4 criticism steps next to their picture). Drawing and re-writing the information helps the students retain it!
Additionally, I feel that the "Cubing" strategy can be used with the "Self-evaluation and Reflection" strategy when we have finished creating a work of art and it is time for the students' self-critique. Cubing could help them reflect on the basic vocabulary and strategies (knowledge, comprehension) illustrated in creating their work, while also allowing them to reflect on a deeper level concerning synthesis, analysis, and evaluation. This activity could be done independently or as a "small group" discussion.

In my classroom I utilize the computer through PowerPoint presentations to the class as well as other online resources. By using PowerPoint presentations, I am ensuring that all students are engaged with the lesson and can ask as many questions as they need to. Students also use laptops to look up their own information about a topic or artist. One of my students is hearing impaired and by using technology such as a PowerPoint, he can read the information that I am saying, however he also sits in the front of the room as to assist his hearing and comprehension.

I currently have a handful of gifted students in several of my art courses. Being a proponent of using technology in the classroom since it is our future (especially this year!); I have used the strategy Tiered learning in order for them to take our current project (such as a character) and create them into a digital software such as procreate or ibis. There they are able to continue exploring digital versions of our art tools.
Along with tiered learning I love using Peer monitoring. I find that using peer support in the classroom promotes positive classroom culture, motivation to do their best as well as the satisfaction of having amazing feedback during our gallery walks (or virtual gallery walks this year!).

I have a paralyzed student who has low motor control in his hands. I allow him to talk notes on a computer. If they have to turn in anything- he creates a PPT. Typing is much easier than writing for him, so he is confident in his work.
I also implement self eval and reflection in my classes. This helps the students see what they can improve upon and also see how successful they were with the project.

One of the strategies I use in my classroom is Peer Partners, I find this helpful as students feel more comfortable and relate to each other. The peer partner is able to model the correct skill for the student with a disability and help guide them as they have learned from the teacher. Students are also more at ease when expressing frustration or a lack of knowledge in an area if they are working with a peer. Another strategy I use in my classroom is the self-evaluation and reflection as the student are able to own their mistakes and learn from them. They are able to think about what they did well and feel a sense of accomplishment as well as help them improve in their skills.

I love to use cooperative learning. It gives students the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with each other. Cooperative learning strategies can help students with disabilities because they can be paired with other students who can help them as needed. Additionally, in the art room, learning centers can give students the chance to explore independent decisions when it comes to what art materials they want to use. Technology I have used in my art class to help a student with a disability is a microphone. He was hard of hearing and sat in the front, but the audio equipment helped tremendously.
