All right, moving in to interactive and engaging tools for accessible instruction. #atia2021
Small sample of tech for UDL. How to present lessons, how to show mastery of topic. #atia2021
YES! UDL isn’t found on IEPs. The more universally designed, the fewer accommodations needed. It doesn’t water down curriculum and results, it broadens and supports it. Kids don’t stick out because everyone is benefitting and self directing. #atia2021
Flip grid was developed for people who are Deaf. Video based, interactive, able to respond in ASL. Embedded closed captions with ASR. Add gifs, emojis, videos from platforms, images, writing, or self recorded video. #atia2021
You can create groups and link accounts, give assignments. This could be fun for virtual programming, make and show for crafts, responses to a book for book groups, etc. #atia2021
Topic is an assignment. Written and/or video instructions, demonstrate an activity. #atia2021
Thinglink is one I’ve never heard of. This is a interactive audio gram to show staff what students who are D/hh are able to hear, including modeling what each level of loss sounds like. #atia2021
App smashing: put more than one app together to complete an activity. Each area shows staff where you can accommodate. Link to outside resources, quiz, activities, etc. So you take one image and link it to various things. I kind of wish vendors used this here! #atia2021
Ohhhhh I kind of want to create this for last years Holidays Around the World program! Click on the country, go to the content. #atia2021
Self advocacy!! Yes!!
Oh, someone in chat said virtual field trips. YES. #atia2021
I never heard the term slide deck before this conference. Slides, PPT, Boom Cards, NearPods are all examples. That is a better term than presentation, which isn’t what we’re doing with these uses. It’s just habit for me, I guess, ha. #atia2021
I think book creator has come up at every conference I’ve gone to for the last four years. It’s so powerful and do I ever use it? I do not! But I want to! #atia2021
Math: near pod to show manipulative. Flip grid white board. Flip grid to model how to solve. Book creator with math vocabulary. Think link to explain steps in audio or video format. Or smash and create a comprehensive tool! #atia2021
Science: book creator as experiment log. Near pod for simulations and 3D activities. Thinglink to label diagrams with extra resources. Near pod for live sessions. Flip grid video of findings. Flip grid to describe application of concept to a rea world scenario! #atia2021
Reading: ASL reading of book. Book creator to share stories. Flipgrid to model shared reading activity. Flipgrid video to retell/share story from another perspective. (Mine!) Flip grid video to share about favorite books. Book creator for visual phonics cues—must learn. #atia2021
Writing: book creator for personal narratives or diaries or scrapbooks. Flipgrid whiteboard to practice handwriting. Jamboard for brainstorming. Love that. #atia2021
I’m so jazzed, this was such a fantastic session. So many good programming ideas to build accessibility #atia2021
I saved the chat for this presentation, and am happy to send it to anyone who was on an iPad and couldn’t save it. #atia2021
Time for the LAST SESSION OMG! Put me in coach, let’s talk coaching models. #atia2021
I love this interaction. She showed a live time result of a form asking our positions, and this is the audience defining “coach.” #atia2021
Authentic. Collaborative. Help others reach their goals. Leave your island and perspective and sit with theirs. Pre-set answers may not meet needs or be overall best. Tell what’s best and things can get abandoned, less buy in. #atia2021
I was wavering between teletherapy sessions to get activity ideas, but then I saw Karen Erickson was presenting so time to learn about Projext Core! #atia2021
This is just so incredible. These modules and their implementation with teachers and families is life changing for so many. One in chat is looking to offer in Spanish, another used Jamboard to make interactive activities for caregiver learning. #atia2021
I remain crushed that the teaching about racism session was canceled and am not sure what is a good replacement this morning. I think communication and coaching in COVID. #atia2021
Huh, again with low tech instead of light tech. That feels like a step back in terms of vocabulary. #atia2021
Invite your tablet as another zoom person!! That’s excellent. #atia2021
Okay, universal accessibility via captioning! #atia2021
Post production captions can take four times as long to do as the length of the video. Yes, that’s definitely our experience! I have a par timer who does this for our vids and it’s most of what she does. #atia2021
Wow. Hit multiple keys at once to create “beautiful words” in real time. Create personalized database of common words. Voice Writing is used in courtrooms and military. This is very interesting. Europe uses it a lot too, under a different name. This is fascinating. #atia2021
I had planned on going to digital accessibility, but then my manager put in my annual review that I need to work on self care. Ergonomics for professionals, here we come! #atia2021
This looks like my set up, ha. I sit on a bench at the kitchen table. Here the table is too high for the kids and too low for the adults. #atia2021
I am fascinated by this middle chair, ha. Ball chairs make me motion sick, ha. I’ve tried. I like this towel option. #atia2021
All right, let’s learn effective use of Alexa in the home! #atia2021
Auditory feedback, nice. Handy for when it’s out of the line of sight. #atia2021
I like thinking of drop in as an intercom within your house. Handy to tell someone you’re going to bed, need help, etc. though I still love dropping in across states—with permission. Didn’t realize it worked with Skype, nice. #atia2021
