- 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. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I had a student with a broken arm who was unable to play the recorder until their arm healed. In order to meet objectives and differentiate learning, we used an app where the student could "play" the recorder using games on an iPad to demonstrate their understanding. I then evaluated what they had learned an not learned and was able to assign worksheets and other activities to supplement and substitute playing the instrument. |

I have not had this happen yet so I will describe how I could potentially use technology to meet the needs of a student. I have a very young student who only has three fingers on their hand. In a few years, they will begin guitar in my music class. The garage band app is a great way for students to demonstrate their understanding of the guitar chords so they can "play" a song without having to use their hands, so that the chord could still be sounded and the student could still play the song in the group. I could also have them formulate chords using just their three fingers as well. |

1. Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I have not used one yet, but I have an assessment that uses pictures in lieu of words. It also bolds and highlights certain words and uses more simplistic directions (numbered directions) and vocabulary. This can be used for a student with variety of disabilities and can also be dictated. |
