2. Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your art classroom. Be sure to identify or describe the specific technology and the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I currently teach Art History, and have used several technology-based strategies to meet the needs of my students with disabilities. This year, I have two students with hearing loss. In order to ensure that they have the tools they need to succeed, I use a small microphone that connects to a device that allows the student to hear me more clearly, while filtering out other noises. It is a very simple and subtle accommodation, and really has helped these students. I also provide scaffolded notes when we discuss new artists, artworks, or movements. This is to ensure that the students do not miss any critical information. |

1. Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your art classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name, and describe how they could be used to address the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
One of the strategies that we already use in Art History is Mnemonic Instruction, specifically the Keyword Strategy. We try to link new information that we gather about artists, artworks, and movements to past information, or even things they know from pop culture. It is very effective with many of my different learners. Another strategy that would continue to be helpful for students with disabilities is the use of Guided Notes. This strategy ensures that students are not missing key information, while also allowing them the opportunity to listen and process the content. |

Assessment of Learning

1. Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the art classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
In Art History, I have used several adapted assessment strategies to help students with disabilities. One that I have used for my students with visual impairments is provision of images on paper. Typically, students have to identify works projected on my Smart TV, but that can be difficult for students with visual impairment, so I provide enlarged images, in color, so that the student has the opportunity to look at the visual elements in a more appropriate format. |
