Lesson+Plans


 * Technology Infusion**


 * Both individuals I worked with are not traditional teachers. One is a special ed teacher who works with low-functioning students. The other is our high school librarian. The "lesson plans" we put together were not necessarily lesson plans, but ways that they would be able to incorporate technology in to what they do in their "classroom" settings.**

I worked with a SPED teacher w/ severely disabled students and the high school librarian.
 * SPED**

The SPED teacher was looking for a way to add additional activities (using technology) to her regular curriculum. The topics she wanted to cover included: Letter Matching, Time Recognition (Analog/Digital), Finding a Pattern, Sentence Structure, Counting Money, Sign Language, Measuring.

I researched a variety of interactive resources for students to use supporting the above topics. To practice using motor skills, and to accommodate those students with poor small motor skills, the activities will be displayed on the InterWrite board and students can manipulate the activities using either a keyboard and/or InterWrite pens.

To eliminate extra clutter that may display on some websites used, the Mac provides an option to display a selected area on the dashboard of the computer, isolating it down for less distraction to the student.

The librarian and I collaborated on a project to promote reading and utilize library resources.
 * Librarian**

We will be compiling a series of book trailers, books made into movies, library trivia, quotes about reading, new releases, promoting award-winning books and supporting National School Library month during April. These will be broadcast on the library TV in a loop.
