I teach animation, gaming, and simulation, so we deal with a lot of screen time and color modes. Over the last few years the students have increasingly become more aware of and cognizant to visual impairments of fellow students and their end users. Not only are the programing color modes into their games to assist individuals with color blindness but they are also adding programing to help students and/or players deal with flashing lights and colors. It is so great to have students figuring out how to assist their peers and help others. |

I teach animation, gaming, and simulation to 11th and 12th grade students. Currently, I have an indie game studio group that is working on a VR and traditional simulation to help ESE and ESL culinary and baking students study for their Serve Safe test for their certification. We use technology everyday in my classroom, but this is a little different way for my students to think about gaming. We host playtesting events for the culinary students to provide my students with feedback on what changes need to be made. My students work with the engineering program and Easter Seals to develop different methods for the students to practice the simulation. It has been a big learning experience for all. |

I teach AP Studio Art 2D and 3D. In the past for their final portfolio submission, students had to complete a quality works section that required them to mount five of their best pieces of printed art work. I had a student with CP who had limited mobility in his hands. I am very lucky we have an amazing math ESE aid to work with our students. He was able to not only work with his math student to assist them, but he also acted as the CP student's hands while working one-on-one with them. |
