Mobile Learning For Students With Special Learning Needs

The Description

I will create more differentiated and personalized learning for my students with more devices in our classroom.  I will have enough technology for students to have access to computers at all times while I am working with small group in my resource room or when I am co-teaching.  I plan on having more personalized learning for my students with special learning needs.  These devices will give my class the access we need to use the many different tools available through the internet and the Google Play Store.  

 

I plan on using gamification, game based learning, project based learning, and personalized learning more often with these devices.  I also will have students complete research and read or listen to books with these devices.  In addition, I am planning on implementing blogging for my students.  Students would be able to record videos and share them on their blogs through this device.  On top of my students creating videos, I am creating videos for my students to watch and/or follow along with.  Having mobile devices in my classroom for my students would give them greater access to these videos I have created. 

What I will be purchasing with this money is:

 

 

In this world of technology, my students would really benefit and enjoy these being in our classroom.  Students will have more individualized learning that will help them reach their personal, academic, and IEP goals.  They would be able to make personal and academic growth by exploring the world through technology, and connect with others outside our walls.  The technology skills will benefit them today and for the rest of their lives.

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase as many Lenovos and I can with the money that has been raised.

Device Purchased

April 10, 2016

   We currently purchased a device to support out students to do more independent learning and do have more creative projects.  I now have more devices to support our learners in their independent learning needs.  I also will be able to do some more activities where I students can show their knowledge through classroom response activities being used on the devices.  I currently received a prize code for a green screen app.  I will be purchasing a green screen for my students and will be working on creating some fun writing projects using the green screen.  Thank you for all your support!

Good luck in completing this project! It will be fun to see your students interacting with the technology.

About the Creator

I am a teacher of students with a variety of needs. I teach students in kindergarten and 4th grade. I love technology and I use it to infuse students learning and to differentiate often in the classroom. I am a big advocate for co-teaching. I believe inclusion of students with special needs is important because we don't want them to have the label of "the student that gets pulled out." Also, when co-teaching, I am able to provide services to students that need extra support and are at-risk.
